Formerly called murorum, this plant and several other varietals were reclassified as latifolias. The thin leaves stretch out quite far and blush purple in strong light.  The bracts are densely covered in trichomes.  I have had some of these produce pups on their bloomspikes, but not all are guaranteed to do that
