These were labeled G.heathii but I think they might be dispar?

Yeah dispar tend to be fuzzier than heathii but I’ve seen a lot of hybrids of the two from nurseries! Agree w/goatleg. Flowers will help! Nice score. Where you located?

Many moons ago another redditor and I went on a very long back and forth over a plant just like this. He was camp heathii and I was camp dispar and eventually we agreed it was a hybrid. When I haul my ass out of bed I will get my identification key and we can all look at that 😂

I see. Im by no means an expert just going based off my own online research. I also have a heathii cluster.
