I only have one plant of each kind to compare though. :) Have you checked yours?Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-33816372022100033032013-05-26T11:36:30.547+02:002013-05-26T11:36:30.547+02:00Thanks!

In the book "Mesembs of the World" they are in separate groups, Prepodesma (Aloinopsis) in group 5 (Rough-Leaved Mesembs) and Rabiea in group 7 (Tufted mesembs). I'll have to feel the leaves of my Aloinopsis tomorrow and see just how rough they are as compared to Rabiea. Inquiring minds want to know! :-) Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13557615556014224724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-19395774345942650722013-05-22T16:34:31.496+02:002013-05-22T16:34:31.496+02:00Looking very healthy! :)Looking very healthy! :)Lithopslandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07590233933252961783noreply@blogger.com
