Check out Tinantia pringlei coll. #A1M-77, one which I have and bought years ago from a plant specialist here. It was a collection from the mountains of Mexico.

That looks like it fits the bill!
Janet, your identification prowess is legendary.
Thankyou.

You're welcome jmorth.

Now you will see how many well spent hours I have put into researching plants over the past few years.

It's very hardy btw, mine has spread well in a shaded place, it can set around in pots and other happy places too. It survived our very harsh winter 2010-11 with 7 weeks permanently below freezing, temperatures as low as -17C at least with one day being a maximum of -7C!
