Clades sizePhylloclades formReferenceComments
SRL Teamphylloclades are small with small forward facing dentation. Growth habit is compact and semi-upright. Difficult in culture and not a plant recommended for the novice grower. Current photos of Maruska often exhibit streaked flowers. This is not the normal color and possibly indicates a virus infected plant.
