Yeah, I'm pretty sure both the OP's first one, and sroberts's plants are A. hemmingii.
Sroberts - has your plant offset? Hemmingii tends to pup every so often, while harlana remains solitary. So that's the dead giveaway with the first pic.
I've bought at least a half dozen plants from the same ethiopian/somalian family incorrectly labeled 'harlana' and most turn out to be forms of hemmingii. I wish someone would clear up why exactly harlanas are so rare/difficult to acquire. Seldom producing viable seed? Obligate outcrossing? I'm stumped.
I did get to see a harlana in an impressive private collection, and I noticed that its leaves are incurved, whereas hemmingii's are recurved...
Harlana or not, it's looking good.
