Among the different color forms of L. bromfieldii that are labeled with call numbers, this is a variety known for having a particularly deep red tone—quite striking even among the usually brownish Lithops bromfieldii types. Within this same call number group, C393A 'Rubroroseus' L. bromfieldii var.glaudinae C393A 'Rubroroseus' might be even redder than 'Ember'. (Since they share the same call number, perhaps both are selections from seedlings?)

The name 'Ember' refers to the soft, glowing fire of wood or charcoal gently burning. While the word usually gets translated as "残り火" ('nokoribi', meaning "the remaining fire") in Japanese, for English speakers, 'ember' doesn't just express quietness or transience—it often carries a strong sense of hope, the potential to flare up and burn brightly again. The word 'ember' conjures up positive, uplifting images tied to campfires and leisure time—it's even the passionate protagonist's name in Pixar's film "Elemental."
