This wonderful dwarf species is from Madagascar. While it has served as the basis for innumerable hybrids, the pure species is quite special in its own right. It is a proliferous clumper, forming a rosette of deltoid, grey-green leaves covered with elongated spots. The flowers are a nice red, and this species flowers frequently. What we really like about this species is that we planted it in our yard, completely neglected it through drought and freezes down to 23F, and it came through without a problem! These plants are rooted offsets in one-gallon pots.
