color unknown	yes	medium-sized light orange-pink flowers are mildly reflexed. Basal petals are pinker than apical petals. Apical petals exhibit more of the orange flush (both frontal and dorsal sides). Basal petals are shorter than apical petals with both having either rounded to slightly pointed tips. Apical petal tips show a very light serration. Tubes are light pink. Stigma extends slightly beyond the whitish anthers which appear to be without pollen. Ovary receptacles are lightly ridged with as many as five ridges. Segments carry one to two buds. Flower color is variable dependent of growing temperatures.

Clades size	Phylloclades form	Reference	Comments
S	crenate	ICRA Registration	exotica type form with triangular to occasionally quadrilateral ridged extra small to small-sized phylloclades. Color is medium, bright, shiny green. Rarely, segments can be flat, abnormally thick phylloclades (these should be removed to encourage ridged growth). Most segments carry one, occasionally two marginal axils per ridge with one to an absence of bristles. Apical bristles are present, minute in length. Note: The pod parent for this cross was a noid exotica with a notable short flower tube and dark cherry red flowers which I received from my friend, the late Caroline Shotton in 2016. This unidentified exotica had been circulating among growers for decades in Europe, the U.K. and N. America. Flowers were often abnormal, lacking styles and sometimes stamens. Stamens when evident lacked viable pollen. It took three seasons of pollinating flowers before a pod was obtained in January of 2020.
