in 'Mesembs of the World'*, under Dorotheanus, it says that D.
bellidiformis subsp. bellidiformis is extremely variable, which may be
a simpler explanation for the uncharacteristic leaf shape of yours.


Thanks. That could well explain it, very simply. Anyway, grown with
ample water, it has a good texture for salad but next to no taste.
So I need to see what it's like when stressed.
