I acquired clones of this hybrid from BRT and RFI, both of whom acquired them from Dimmitt.  This clone is more open with slightly recurved leaves that are stiffer than those of the RFI clone.  While the RFI clone seems to grow more caulescently like aeranthos, this form grows like a more traditional stemless plant indicating it may have more leonamiana influence
