Sincoraea cf. amoenum Bahia stiff leaves Our clone came to usThis is a species from the Chapada Diamantina area of Bahia, Brazil that compares favorably to Sincoraea amoenum though we are still looking for a positive identity. This is a beautiful plant with fiery red leaves and a nidular inflorescence with red bracts. Like most of this type of Sincoraea it is a rock dweller in sunny, seasonally dry caatinga habitat. Formerly an Orthophytum. *VIPP plants are Offsets
