A compact grower, it will mature at about eight inches across when well grown. Likes bright light and plenty of water. Great for a hanging basket.

Karawata gustavoi

This is a relatively new Brazilian species of which we know little, aside from its general appearance, that of a very leafy, full rosette of narrow, light green, slightly mottled leaves with large black spines. We grow it in a 6 inch pot, but it is reportedly a large growing species. We have not found that, but we have also never bloomed this species either.

Wow! Just when you thought you knew everything about Dennis Cathcart! This one was hard to put down. The stories Dennis retells reminded me of the old Tropiflora Cargo Reports. Exciting, adventurous, high drama set in some of the beautiful and sometimes dangerous jungles of the world. Even a sad story here and there…I had to put the book down for the day after reading about Big Red. If you’re a fan of Tropiflora, you need to read this book!

Lapanthus duartei SEL1991-0511 Br. Minas Gerais
4408
A very confusing taxa which has been variously considered Cryptanthus, Orthophytum (supthutii), Lapa and currently; Lapanthus. A small rosette of thin, semi-stiff leaves with small marginal spines and a nidular inflorescence lacking a scape.
The bright orange-yellow flowers, borne in a cluster, are long and tubular. By general appearances it would comfortably fit in any of several genera. Certainly rare and unusual and a first class collector item. Needs excellent drainage. We recommend 'dirty Pearlite', that is Pearlite with a little peat mixed in.
