Vic Przetocki ... "In 1997 I crossed Ae. Striatifolia x Ae. fasciata var. purpurea, I got very few seed but the best of what I had I named Ae. Baton.
I didn't get the traits that I was after. In 2021 I decided to self pollinate Ae. Baton, this produced much more seed giving me a better choice of plants to retain. One that I have just registered is Ae. 'Laserlite', I was hoping for these traits from the cross in 1997. I didn't get the nice fasciata type inflorescence but the plant is quite vigorous. 'Laserlite' is flowering at the moment and registration is pending. (12/25)."
