patens is synonym of S. (Jov.) heuffelii heuffelii
Thank you for the links! I only can not agree with the other statement. I've seen both plants in the wild and they look completely different (almost difficult to believe that they are actually classified as one species)
var. heuffelii is with green leaves, on both sides with glandular trichomes
var. patens is with glaucous leaves, and trichomes only on the leaf margin
Also they are geographically separated, so I'm sure they deserve to be treaten as varieties.
Thank you very much for all the photos. The plant above is beautiful.

unfortunately, I have "bad" news for you. Because of a new job in a new city, it´s not longer possible for me to use the big greenhouses of a friendly gardener, they are too far away. So I can´t support and expand the collection in their current context. I am currently trying to organize space in my new hometown Magdeburg. Wish me luck.
In the future I will work at the Gruson-Greenhouses, the botanical garden of Magdeburg, in the Mediterranean- and Canary-Islands-Department.
The ordered plants, as far as I could already propagate them, will be sent to the subscribers in the next 3 weeks.
Certainly I will still be here with you at the forum, but only as an "ordinary" collector.
Bye

now the Reference-Collection of the american Crassulaceae is in its 4th year. Its time to remind you of the possibilities of this collection.
1). please look at the section at our website: http://www.crassulaceae.ch/index.php?TP … 270_id=274;
2). make a wishlist of the plants that you are interested in;
3). send me a personal message of your wishlist and I will propagate the plant for you.
I think that this "casting" is better than to propagate all plants in the collection on suspicion.
To expand the collection as a central point of the ICN I´m reliant of your help. If you have plants/cultivars/other clones that are not in the listing please send me a cutting or a leaf of it. As a donor you get all propagations from the ICN-collection for free. Not-Donors from the ICN will have to pay only the prime costs.
I would be delighted to hear from you (all ;-) )
Stefan
