I’m not certain of the name of this succulent. It’s very hard to find any print or information on it. I think it is from the Heurnia family. It would be great if anyone could identify it for me please.
I finally have a name for this succulent, it’s Orbea variegata or Starfish Cactus, unless anyone can correct me
Lovely capture. I was going to say this is a Stapelia – but realized you’d identified. I think maybe Orbea is synonymous, or one name is the most recent. (powers that be in the botanical world love to change names on us!) I’ve got a couple varieties of these, with the most delightful rotting meat aroma!
Thank you for your input and for providing some closure on this mysterious and beautiful (pongy) plant.

Gorgeous image, amazing plant
Thanks Cathy. It doesn’t have the nicest of smells, but is very rewarding when it decides to flower.

Amazing capture. Beautiful
If I remember correctly this smells really bad. Like rotten meat!
