    Dear Nathan,

    I think it is another variation of S. meniscifolium. It is interesting how whitish it is. Do you have samples in silica?

    Kind regards,

    Hi David,

    Thanks for leaving a comment. I did not see it until now. I am cultivating the plant so I could make a silica sample.

    This is Serpocaulon hirsutulum. Check Schwartsburd & Smith, JBRIT 2013.

    Hi Pedro,

    Thanks! I recently found larger individuals growing in the shade in the same location. I will post images of the plants this week.
