A beautiful hybrid of (carolinae x concentrica) x 'Charm' by Ray Coleman that will no doubt become a popular landscape plant. It is a large grower, to over 30 inches across with many leaves in a symmetrical rosette. The older, lower leaves are apple green with some concentric banding, but the upper leaves are deep red with green mottling. The center flushes bright red at anthesis.

A Brazilian species who’s name has been confused for some years and has been most often called carcharodon ‘Rubra’, amongst others. Part of the complex containing silvomontana and pernambucana and perhaps even more distantly; carcharodon, it is a beautiful and desirable plant for collectors. Widely used in hybrids (as carcharodon ‘Rubra’), it is very large with fairly wide leaves in an open rosette to about 3 feet across. The leaves are glossy, orangish-green with very large spines on the margins. The inflorescence is large and bears white flowers. Still an uncommon species in cultivation.
