Comments:

• Living plants of this new species have been introduced into cultivation at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. They are presently thriving and will eventually be distributed to interested growers. The relatively small size, spineless foliage and colorful inflorescence recommend this plant for cuiltivation. —See Luther 1987b p. 37(3): 128-129
