Species of Seed leaf
Pig's ear
Pig's ear is a navel-wort with particularly rounded and green paddle-shaped leaves. Other members of the family have more pointed and paler leaves. Macrantha means large-flowered and refers to this plant's tall stems of attractive red, bell-shaped blooms, which make it a point of visual interest in gardens.
Finger aloe
Finger aloe (*Cotyledon orbiculata var. oblonga*) is a succulent plant species native to South Africa. Finger aloe is also commonly known as gray sticks. This species is often cultivated for ornamental purposes.
Cliff cotyledon
Cliff cotyledon (Cotyledon pendens), while rare in the wild, thrives in hanging baskets and on windowsills. Adapted to life on sheer cliffs, its many-branched structure falls in a manner reminiscent of velvet curtains, complete with curling red-orange blooms.
Round-leafed navel-wort
Round-leafed navel-wort (Cotyledon orbiculata) is a plant species native to South Africa. Round-leafed navel-wort is considered a highly variable species in its outward presentation. This species grows in grasslands, fynbos and karoo regions.
Bear's paw
The bear's paw (Cotyledon tomentosa subsp. ladismithiensis) is a variegated succulent variety of another Bear's paw (Cotyledon tomentosa), but differs in that its leaves have white variegations. Like the Bear's paw, it has cute "little paws" that turn red when there is ample light and the right temperatures. It's highly ornamental, but grows slower and is more heat intolerant than the Cotyledon tomentosa.
Lady Fingers
The leaves of the lady Fingers are plump and rounded, with their surface covered in a thick layer of white powder. In its full glory, the upper ends of the leaves turn red, looking like rouged lips.
Bear's paw
Bear's paw is a succulent evergreen shrub endemic to South Africa with thick, fuzzy leaves with noticeable "teeth" at their tips. During the spring, it blooms with huge orange bell-shaped flowers. The leaf of this plant turns a deep red when disturbed or agitated externally. Bear's paw is toxic to animals, pets, and people.
Cotyledon cuneata
Cotyledon velutina
Cat paw
Cat paw (Cotyledon ladismithiensis 'konekonotume') is a rare perennial succulent that originates in South Africa. Cat paw is sometimes also called Fuzzy Bear Paws due to its unusual shape. This species is considered easy to grow, but is rarely sold in succulent markets.
