A Brazilian native with wide, thick, leathery leaves in a 15 inch, recurving rosette. An unusual gray-blue color, speckled with tiny red dots and bearing an interesting, branched, yellow inflorescence produced in winter make this an attractive species. In spite of the gray, thick leaves, it is a shade grower in nature, living on granite rock cliff faces inside the mountainous Tijuca forest of Rio de Janeiro. A slow grower, excellent for terrariums when small.

An interesting and rare plant from the exposed granite cliffs at the entrance to Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Resembling the much more familiar Vr. saundersii, it is smaller, about 6 inches across, with deeply recurving, broad, leathery leaves that are heavily speckled with red below and sparingly above. The inflorescence is a panicle of dense yellow branches on a 12 inch scape.

This Brazilian beauty is a splendid foliage plant with wide light green leaves, finely lineated and reticulated with green and spotted with red. The shape is a full, open rosette to over 24 inches with leaves that gracefully curl down toward their tips. Even though it reaches a large size, young plants are great for terrariums.
