Nursery contributed plant descriptions
An extremely cool new plant for us, it was found by Arne Vagn Jakobsen of Denmark and introduced by Horstman in 1990. It forms a very dwarf globular bush with fine textured foliage, Microbiota is monotypic and has been in cultivation for quite some time however named forms are practically nonexistent. I saw a tiny one auction for a few hundred bucks at the ACS auction a couple years ago.
