Cotyledon orbiculata var. orbiculata near Oudtshoorn
Fresh seed of Cotyledon orbiculata var. orbiculata near Oudtshoorn available here:
I found this rather attractive form of what I believe is Cotyledon orbiculata var. orbiculata in the wild near Oudtshoorn. All the plants I found were slightly infested with lice. The seed capsules are rather small as compared to the nearby growing Cotyledon orbiculata var. spuria . The corolla tube is less then 10 mm in length. Harvesting of the seed was done long after the capsules had ripened, producing little seed. With the seed being almost invisible, even with magnifying glasses. Seed will not be without other capsule debris included. We do however guarantee a minimum of 10 seeds per packet.
