A smaller form of the species first collected in Brazil by Mulford Foster near Sta. Theresa, Espirito Santo in 1940. He noted its attractive look and hardiness to low temperatures experienced at his Orlando, Florida home. An attractive plant that tolerates full sun, but also serves well in a terrarium. Small, to only 8 to 12 inches or so, it colors an overall pinkish in strong light with silvery banding on the leaf both upper and undersides. The inflorescence is an exerted scape with reddish-orange bracts and a cone-like head with yellow flowers that turn black the following day. The leaf margins have prominent dark spines.
