Flowering had just finished. Only a couple with old flower buds but quite a large number of rosettes.

While it is quite likely to be C. valida, I think we should leave as sp without an open flower.

@MattM Hi Matt, I was with Derek and he ID'd it for us. He has visited the same spot several times over the past weeks and it was in flower on his last visit.
