Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A choice dwarf species that seems to be an intermediate between its close relatives moupinense and dendrocharis . In habit, foliage and flower it is much smaller than the first and a bit larger than the second. Small and rounded, shiny and hairy leaves. The flowers are very similar to the familiar moupinense but a bit smaller – a very pale pink fading to white in this form. A stunning dwarf species that requires excellent drainage.
