Lithops pseudotruncatella subs. archerae cv. Split Pea S.A.Hammer

Lithops pseudotruncatella (A.Berger) N.E.Br.: Cole numbers: C067, C070, C263, C315 “alpina”, C068, C381 “mundtii”, C099, C100 “clear form”.
It is a medium to very large sized elliptical plant about 40 X 30 mm wide, the body is flat to slightly convex with a shallow fissure,and lobes conjunct. It branches easily and forms clumps with up to 20 (or more) heads, but usually less. It is somewhat variable in colour, usually opaque, smooth to very slightly rugose, uniform pale grey or beige tinted with variously shaded. Face, margins and shoulders dull grey. Windows and margins usually not clearly distinguishable, In the upper surface there a broken network of irregularly and extensively branched tree-like rubrications that sometimes are reduced to a scattering of short lines, dashes and dots; the ends often finely ramose and tapering off into the outer margins.
Lithops pseudotruncatella var. alpina (Dinter) Boom: Lithops pseudotruncatella var. alpina is found in the Rusch Peak (namibia), situated in the middle of the southern boundary of the Lithops pseudotruncatella range, and is one of the few species which has settled at a height of up to 2420 metres.
Lithops pseudotruncatella subs. archerae (de Boer) D.T.Cole: Cole numbers:C104, C306 This subspecies is easily recognized for its truncate profile and round-elliptic face, the uniform milky grey-green colour is also very characteristic of this plant.
Lithops pseudotruncatella subs. archerae C104 120 km NW of Maltahöhe, Namibia: grey green, stone-like.
Lithops pseudotruncatella subs. archerae C306 TL: 120 km NW of Maltahöhe, Namibia: ex Type Locality, greyish green, big.
Lithops pseudotruncatella subs. archerae cv. Split Pea S.A.Hammer: Green form.
Lithops pseudotruncatella C067 20 km ENE of Windhoek, Namibia
Lithops pseudotruncatella C068 (syn. alpina) 35 km SSE of Windhoek, Namibia: tiny bronze heads.
Lithops pseudotruncatella C070 30 km S of Windhoek, Namibia: jagged red lines, dots.
Lithops pseudotruncatella C099 (syn. mundtii) 150 km NE of Windhoek, Namibia: very broad round top.
Lithops pseudotruncatella C100 (syn. mundtii) 135 km NE of Windhoek, Namibia: reddish grey top, red lines.

Lithops pseudotruncatella subs. dendritica (Nel) D.T.Cole: (Lithops farinosa Dinter.) Cole numbers: C072, C073, C357, C384, “farinosa” C245, “pulmonuncula” C071 [var. pulmuncola (Jacobsen) Jacobsen] This form is distinguishable for the more regularly branched channels and rubrications that forms an almost a honeycomb pattern. The face has usually a reddish colour.
Lithops pseudotruncatella subs. dendritica C071 (syn. pulmonuncula) TL: 50 km WNW of Rehoboth, Namibia: pink veins.
Lithops pseudotruncatella subs. dendritica C072 65 km WSW of Rehoboth, Namibia: has colourful branching lines.
Lithops pseudotruncatella subs. dendritica C073 95 km WSW of Rehoboth, Namibia: orange grey with lines.

Lithops pseudotruncatella subs. dendritica C384 6 km S of Rehoboth, Namibia
Lithops pseudotruncatella var. elisabethiae (Dinter) de Boer & Boom: Cole numbers: C187 It is quite similar to the standard variety but with a peculiar bluish-pink colour.
Lithops pseudotruncatella var. elisabethiae C187 TL: 55 km ESE of Otjiwarongo, Namibia (Dinter) de Boer & Boom: large pink bodies.

Lithops pseudotruncatella var. riehmerae D.T.Cole: “edithiae” (var. edithae) (N.E.Brown) De Boer) Cole numbers: C097 Not very different from the standard variety, it differs mainly in its generally smaller size. The head colour is pale grey colour with less extensive markings.
Lithops pseudotruncatella var. riehmerae C097 (syn. edithiae) TL: 50 km SE of Windhoek, Namibia: milky grey.
