This plant is likely related to something in the aeranthos complex or a hybrid of it.  Grows caulescently with an open, semi upright rosette and a purple hue.  Nice for a splash of color and seems to produce offsets throughout its life cycle, not just during bloom. Originally though to be a form of aeranthos but achieved speciation in 2000
