Once called murorum, several varietals like this were reclassified as a form of latifolia. This form has shorter, thicker leaves and viviparous growth habits (pups on the bloom spike). It is a xeric species that can handle a drier climate and is not particularly prone to rotting, making it a nice hardy plant for many climates. Forms cool chains over time if pups are left to grow
