Cotyledon teretifolia?

Labeled as such..but not really a match. This is a little rumpled and splashed with color at the tips. No fuzz at all. Best guesses?

From here it looks like more like a Dudleya.

No,not a native. I did see Cotyledon "staghorn" at another store. Similar in being a Cotyledon...but color and "fingers did not match" I don't think in looking all over the net I saw a Cotyledon that had a two color leaf.
Is this a newish cultivar?

Dunno, perhaps virens or one of his ssp. (hassei ?) .
Take a photo when the flowers will appeared this must help.

D.hassie photographs look much like it. One photo on the net shows a group of them with trunks and skirts looking very much like mini tree Aloes. I guess I got lucky.

In flower. The flowers have this very thin anemic tube- notice that? None have fallen off. They stayed pinched looking. Nice looking in summer sun. Seems to be a Cotyledon.

I have looked around..and even this name can't be right. The real C.teretifolia has yellow flowers and leaves are described as hairy. I can only guess its yet another succulent hybrid.

Your welcome- I have learned that this is VERY prone to rot...its not like other tough as nails Cotyledons. Snails are also a big problem. This year was a real test for so many of my tender plants. This plant now in ground is not in bloom..and had to regrow a lot of new foliage after wet and snails got to it.
