Cryptanthus glaziovii Mez[as Cryptanthus glaziovii ]

Diagnose: —Comments: This species is closely related to C. exaltatus (see under that species for a discussion of the affinities). It is also related to C. pseudoglazioui but this last is a more mesophytic plant, with leaves glabrous adaxially, blades less succulent, channeled and shorter, and the plants smaller, compared to C. glazioui.
