Having just returned from the DBG, I came across an A. gigantensis, it's very smooth, the same word Gentry used as a descriptor. AFAIK, the plant marketed as "turtle teeth" has a very rough texture, at least mine does. I don't know what it is, or whether we're dealing with more than one plant here, but mine cannot be A. gigantensis. It doesn't look much like any A. marmorata pics I've seen either, a superficial resemblance at best. Any additional insights, or is this one still in the twilight zone?
