My capensis 'Baines Kloof' holds its leaves upright. They are also a bit shorted and wider than your plant. Don't know if that is a significant difference though.

Agreed. My Baines Kloof leaves are shorter, wider, and also color (although it may vary with light) of the branches tend to be a bit darker reddish green to reddish purple balanced with an olive green interior. My broad leaf is similar to your plant, in the long drooping end.

So I have to admit the leaves are drooping a little because lack of sun. Usually they more red and upright with more dew

It's been my experience that if you have a Bain's Kloof, you'll know it.

I would believe you have a D. capensis Wide Leaf.

They do not pop up spontaneously and they have a pretty distinctive look.

Here's an overhead shot of my BK MotherPlant.
Note the odd Orange color and the short wide petiole.

Here's a side shot.

Great overhead perspective of the Bain's Kloof!

Really shows the differences in the Capensis comparisons.

I might also add, they seem to be extremely fast to grow as is common with Capensis, truly one of my favorites. Hoping for seeds to share next year!
