This plant is a bit of a mystery. It was grown from seed collected in Bahia, Brazil by Rick and Carole Richtmyer from a Sincoraea burlemarxii. Other seed germinated and grew into normal looking Sincoraea burlemarxii, but this one was different, leading them to suspect a natural hybrid, perhaps a bigeneric hybrid. Short of a DNA test, there is no good way to know for sure what this plant really is, so they gave it a cultivar name and registered it with the BSI. Something unusual.
