| This beauty from altitudes around 1000 m in Southern Brazil is expected to like our cool, humid climate. Differs from B. capitata by it's green leaves and woolly base of the petiole. Growth is rather fast and extends well into autumn.Eexperience with this newcomer shows it's hardiness turns out to be unsufficient.
