BCR ... "cv. of 'Claret' X marmorata - (Other cv. = 'Hal Ellis') - Goode says, "Large plant resembling a red marmorata" - Very nicely stacked wide leaves w/upper section of the red tipped rosette densely covered in yellow-green spots on red leaves."
Claret x marmorata, Grace Goode, <1982
N.B. - The photograph on the BCR is very indestinct. The plant shown above has been in Sydney for a long time and consistent with being sourced from Grace Goode.
My plant was from Dione Fourie, ex. Ruby Ryde, in 2008.
It is different to other large Neo. from similar sources and age - Charm, Royal Pepper, versions of Fancy Pants, Ferris's Sunset, Treasure Chest.
