Hi, I’ve recently purchased this plant sold as m. crucigera. I’m not at all convinced by that ID - I bought it because I like it more than anything. I was thinking it could be karwinskiana- does anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks!

Yes, I would call it M. karwinskiana ssp. nejapensis.

I'm not sure how anyone could have sold this as Mamm Crucigera, I'd agree that M.Nejapensis seems fairly OK for this one. A real Crucigera that size would sell for £50 or more online.

Thanks both. I’ll update my label.

Looking at other plants the seller offers and their eBay descriptions I don’t think a lot of effort goes into correct identification. I put in a low offer for it and was surprised it was accepted to be honest. Some prices for other plants are a bit eye watering.
