Neither have I, it almost looks like a slightly red, ordinary vetricosum.

You maybe don't know it, but I'm that kind of an ***hole, that puts his plants to limits almost in everything. Curiosity led me to plant one Maurelli to a full sun in south facing garden and the other Maurell in almost full shade with only about 2 hours of late, evening sun. Besided these factors, the first Maurelli with sun is in my vegatable garden so I water it regularly and the second one is in the front yard which is pretty much living on its own.

Both plants had the same color, amount of leaves, roots systems, vigor and everything in the beginning. Now look at these pics.
My hand is in the pics to compare the size of both plants.


Sunny, irrigated part of the garden



Shady, unirrigated part of the garden (this one resembles ShearMe's the most)
