Which Edraianthus?

[Paul Cumbleton]

The Edraianthus pictured below was grown from SRGC seed exchange seed from a couple of years ago. It was supposed to be Edraianthus tarae but is clearly not that species. Can anyone identify it please? I suspect either E. glisicii (which occurs in close proximity to E. tarae in the wild) or possible E. montenegrinus.

Thanks

Good colour  in the  flowers, Paul.   I suspect  E. montenegrinus.   
Good excuse  to revisit this  old thread! http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=4612.0

Thanks Maggi. I did look at that very helpful thread before I posted but still wasn't sure. Other pictures on the web largely (but not entirely) seem to show E. montenegrinus flowers without hairs on them. It's difficult to find actual botanical descriptions for Edraianthus and comparing photos is seldom rewarding! Whatever it is, this is a lovely genus that seems to like my conditions both in the crevice garden and in tufa.

No help in this paper  http://curis.ku.dk/ws/files/9539722/Taxon.2008.pdf or  leads  from the  references there?

Or here :   https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/36430#page/169/mode/1up     where it  does state the  flowers are  glabrous..... so not  montenegrinus then!
