Bayer (1999) thinks this could be H. gracilis var. minima, but he leaves it in H. cymbiformis. From the Eastern Cape Province, this soft-bodied species has yellow-green leaves that generally curve inwards (hence the subspecies name) and have white-red veining near the tips. It offsets prolifically, filling pots and forming attractive clusters. These plants are rooted offsets in 3-inch pots.
