Was looking for the name myself, finally found it i think: Anticharis glandulosa. Check it out...

Thanks, I like it, too! :-) Ran across several other beautiful examples of this plant yesterday and am determined to get some for my desert garden. Leaves were moist and slightly fragrant but not really sticky.

I like it too Bernadette. It looks like the leaves are covered in tiny sticky globules, similar to a carnivorous plant. Great find!

I don't know what it is, but I sure like it. :)
