DEFINITELY D.X Hybrida (D.intermedia X D.filiformis). I've grown this
plant in the past. D.capensis (I've grown numerous forms and seen them
in the wild) is never THAT narrow-leaved or short. D.linearis is too
difficult to cultivate to be found at a department store.

Happy growing,

Fernando Rivadavia
