We have, from time to time, some plants from unidentified origin (seeds or plants provided unlabeled or with poor identification data), so we have to wait until the plant is in flower and, if still in doubt, then to sent a asking mail to our list of Hoodia specialists, growers and researchers. Fortunatelly for us most of our plants have good data.
