The coloring is very rich, the dark center and edge being velvety in texture, enclosing a silky, pointed zone, showing the crossings of the red veins.

A free, strong grower producing foliage in abundance. The center of the leafis small, dark and palm- shaped, the body of the leal being solid silver, outlined with bronze. Extremely elegant.
