An interesting species hailing from Bahia Brazil described in 1993.  The plant is very similar to Cryptanthus bahianus being stoloniferous, having stiff, narrow leaves with undulating margins, and colored a brownish-copper, but less succulent in nature.  A mature plant can attain a diameter of 10-inches.

This is the Type form ex Elton Leme.

If few Fosterellas are of horticultural interest, this one is an exception! Dennis collected this remarkable species in Bolivia, above the Rio Azio, near the spot where the Bolivian army ambushed and killed Che Guevara, the Cuban revolutionary. Aside from all this great historical value, it is a lovely plant to boot! The foliage is light green with wide leaves in a spreading rosette. The inflorescence is remarkable because the many lovely coral colored flowers are tubular and hang like little bells, the only such flowers in the genus, and hummingbird pollinated.

This plant was originally collected by Dennis Cathcart on travels in Bolivia.
