This is the list from which I ordered my Jovibarba, but I can't see any heuffelii - help!

JOVIBARBAS (Sizes designated by capital letter)
701 Allionii from Esteng Allionii is a species from the Southern Alps, and has long, tapering, incurved leaves. This one has globes of deep red and is very colourful in Winter. M
702 Allionii x hirta Looks like it does represent 50% of each parent species. M
703 Allionii x hirta from Biele Karpaty Quite different from #702. Very dark red in Winter. S
704 Arenaria from Murtal Dainty petite rosettes flushed bright red. A tiny jewel. S
705 Arenaria is the smallest jovibarba species. This is a neat little plant, globular in shape, and spreads 'just right' S
706 Hirta from Belansky Tetra Deep blue-green with purple backed leaves. M
707 Hirta 'Borealis' Pale green backed with orange M
708 Hirta 'Emerald Spring' Bright green and red in Summer. Wider leaves than most hirtas. M
709 Hirta ex Ottawa garden Similar but smaller than our High Tatra specimens.M N/A
710 Hirta glabrescens from High Tatra. Impressive. Many lance-shaped red-tipped leaves form an open rosette. M
711 Hirta from High Tatra Larger bright green rosettes, with many leaves. Darker tips on lower leaves. Neat and perfectly shaped.
712 Hirta 'Hedgehog' Very attractive burgundy and green. M
713 Hirta 'Nitre' Flattish red and green rosettes. M
714 Hirta 'Preissiana' Green balls with dark red markings and shiny red 'rollers'. S
715 Hirta from Smeryouka Rosettes of this variety are more open, paler in colour, and have wider leaves, looking almost like a sempervivum. M
716 Hirta 'White Knight' Red/green leaves, shading to gray, set off by tiny 'whiskers' S
717 Hirta 'Yellow-green form' Really yellow-green balls, with lemon-green 'rollers'. S
718 Sobolifera 'August Cream' Does actually turn a cream colour in mid-summer, but then tends to 'burn'. In short supply S N/A
719 Sobolifera 'Green Globe' Bright green globes. Soboliferas have very incurved leaves, making the rosette look closed. S
720 Sobolifera 'Madam Lorene' Nice winter red of good size. Opens to show a green centre. M
721 Sobolifera from Palausle Starry shaped, frosty green backed with rodr. Beautiful winter colour. S
722 Sobolifera ex former USSR Very dark red. 'Rollers' pop up on short stalks. M
723 Sobolifera Varsovic Diamond-shaped red-brown colourings on reverse of green leaves. S
724 Unidentified species from Huran Stars of green are literally 'sparked' dark red. Easily distinguished from other species. S
