Caralluma europea
This was sold to me as Caralluma europea on ebay. Such a tiny thing. But the flower is large enough and smells of rotten meat, I LOVE IT!
I attempted to pollinated it, but I have to be honest, I wasn't onehundred percent sure where to place the pollinia once extracted. Also I don't know if these plants are self sterile. There are lots more flower buds on the way. I really like the geometry of the flower buds too.
