Broad undulating leaves, dark green mottled darker. Known only from Mozambique (Flora of Mozambique). I got my plant from a collector in the USA. Plants of the World online says: "The native range of this species is Mozambique. It is a rhizomatous geophyte and grows primarily in the seasonally dry tropical biome. Glasshouse Works say: "This clone we have is from Manda's collection, representing the most easily grown form most common in USA--Deep green-black undulate wide leaves on slender petioles, with bright horned edges; the very short leaves overlap in irregular tostled rosettes. Tolerant of much neglect. Some customers enjoy starting this in a mossed wire topiary whereupon it gradually sticks out its meandering stolons to form writhing rosettes of foliage eventually covering the entire surface--quite wonderful, although requiring patience. This stoloniferous trick also endears this very compact plant with succulent wreath designers as well. We hope not to be accused of shameless price gouging on this guy." |
