A clone of Portea alatisepala with an open rosette of wide green, black spined leaves which grows to well over 24 inches. The inflorescence is a panicle of lavender berries and lavender flowers which rises well above the foliage.

This is a miniature Portea, related apparently, to P. alatisepala. Unlike some of the large and ungainly species, this one matures at only about 12 inches and is an attractive little plant. It has a somewhat stoloniferous habit.
