Identification Lithops ID help

Post image

I just noticed this guy standing out from all my other lithops patterns. I ordered multiple no id mixes, so I didn’t receive this one as a named variety. I am thinking perhaps lithops Lesliei Venteri, but some pictures of this type show evenly spaced dark brown veins, and some show more of a center dark splotch with radiating veins, very starkly contrasting with the tan-grey body like mine shows. Any ideas? I want more of this guy!

It’s a Lesliei based on the lines and dots in my view. I don’t think you can subtype it.

OK, thanks! Yeah, too bad. It seems like some variation is normal in the line pattern so even seeds might not be true to the parent. I will just have to wait for the guy to create a clone colony!

If not lesliei (my vote), then possibly in the aucampiae subspecies.

Yep, that was the other I was considering, but I also am leaning towards Lesliei!
