H. cuspidata has much smaller leaf windows, the translucent part that almost looks like water, than H. retusa f. fouchei.
H. retusa f. fouchei also has tiny teeth on the margins and keel on the leaf while H. cuspidata does not.
Also, in all likelihood, H. retusa f. fouchei has more offsets around the base of the plant than H. cuspidata, which tends to stay mostly solitary at this age.
If you have anymore trouble distinguishing between the two, go ahead and email pictures of them both to info@mountaincrestgardens.com.
