This form of paleacea originally came from the collection of Lotte Hromadnik and I didn't receive any collection data, so I am calling it semi-distichous for lack of a proper name. This form of paleacea is slightly larger than the enano form, and the leaves grow on almost a flat plane like the very rare form of distichous paleacea.  The leaves do have a slight twist along the stem, and the leaves are slightly wavy.  Clumps quickly, producing pups throughout the year.  Small, standard paleacea bloom
