Hi Niko,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, yours is quite different - much more compact!. The pictures of
T. bulbosa I’ve seen on the internet looks like yours.
The link below shows a
T. baileyi, which I think looks quite similar to mine:

You are right, there are no more doubts, it's a T. baileyi

Hi,
the plant in question is T. pseudobaiyleyi. T. bailleyi is more silvery, smaller and the leaves are a little upright. There is a T. baileyi var. vivipara, too. This plant is much smaller but it is a very good propagator (I've got many of them....).
