Description:
A medium sized species we collected seed of at around 3,000m in the Central Mountain Range of Colombia, in a remote valley that has a notorious reputation, near Cajamarca, Ibague. Arising from a relatively slender rhizome, with slender upright petioles with few prickles, bearing the palmately 5-lobed leaves, further sub divided to a second lobe, all irregularly round toothed at the margins. Emerging very pale green to almost yellow, while being roughly textured. With tall slender inflorescences with upwardly inclined arms to around 7cm long of pale red berries once pollinated. Best grown in a moist, but freely drained compost/soil out of strong sun protecting the centre of the plant from frosts. On its way, soon to be offered
