Tulista pumila - Worcester airport
These tend to be large growing plants. Perhaps larger than other forms
Tulista sp - Hartenbos
These are attractive and variable plants that have affinity to both Tulista kingiana and Tulista marginata. Steven Molteno maintains them under Tulista kingiana. To me they look closer to T marginata.
Perhaps a new name might be suitable. (Even if it is just a petname so we can at least communicate with greater ease).

Tulista andriesii - North of Herbertsdale
Originally discovered by Andries Cilliers, and subsequently named after him, Tulista andriesii is a new species form north of Herbertsdale. Recently published in the British periodical
Haworthiad
Volume 37. Issue 1. February 2023
.
It is possible that Mr. Bruce Bayer has discovered similar plants and referred to them as Tulista kingiana.
There are however notable differences in size, general appearance, growth habit, fruit and seed.

Tulista pumila - Brewelskloof area
The Brewelskloof area near Worcester have some attractive examples of Tulista pumila.
At least in one area two distinct forms are found: A 'normal/standard' looking form of green plants with white tubercles, and a dark green form with a reddish tint and usually darker tubercles.
The following photographs give some more emphasis on the dark forms, but I think in habitat these may actually be in the minority.
Dark form
Normal form
Tulista Rossa
Initially named "Rosie" it is now being renamed Rossa due to its reddish brown colour when exposed to good light
A very attractive and unusual hybrid from the Aloaceae family with one of the parents being likely Tulista. The genus Tulista is retained here.
The plant originates from Bob Kent and its creation is apparently the work of Hummingbirds !
Steven Hammer referred to the plant as "Rosie the Riveter".

A Tulista pumila Donut form of unknown origin. It tends to proliferate with age
Tulistiopsis 'Dolance'
