This beauty is at our local plant nursery. Is it publicalyx? Additionally, do you think this is clubbing in the second photo? I’m already in a battle with flat mites, I don’t want to bring anything more home.
ETA- it was very tempting, but not available any longer, either way. Another plant nearby had mealy bugs that I pointed out to a worker and when I left the shop, she was removing them all from the shelves (these ones, a couple that were def publicalyx, australis and mathilde, all the same size as this one, all for $40 😢)

I really really want to say Pubicalyx Splash, hopefully that’s it! Ummm, that’s an awful lot of inactive nodes, I’d be highly suspicious of it though it is beautiful…
Looks like wibergiae
Growth points for cuttings? I’ve never seen anything like that before though.
Really nice find, it looks healthy otherwise.
Definitely screams flat mites! 😩😩😩
Inactive nodes could also be places the nursery clipped at for propagations
I have one that looks identical…

Pubicalyx splash with mites!
That looks like a mite problems. Give it a good sulphur treatment.
