This is a spectacular, large-growing species, descended from plants grown from seed from Brazil. The plants have hundreds of narrow, strap-like, spiny leaves at maturity, recurving downward to form a graceful ball-like shape. This variety has wider leaves and develops a glaucous scurfing over the leaves. The one that we are offering is starting the develop the glaucous scurf.
