It is far less common in cultivation than its Watsoniana-type relatives it most resembles. The blade is peltate and arrow-shaped, carried on a distinctive finely puberulent (velvet-bloomed) petiole that is unique to the species in its group, with raised silver-white major venation over a dark, mottled surface and a purple reverse. Matures into a large, structural plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eThe 'Pink' is the anthocyanin-driven variegated selection: irregular sectors of pink, blush and pale rose across the dark blade. The species is already purple-backed, so the pink sits naturally within its genetics — colour deepens with maturity and bright light rather than fading out. Expression and amount vary leaf to leaf; each emergence is its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ===== THIS SPECIMEN — edit per girl ===== --\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 26px;\"\u003eThis specimen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height: 1.7;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStage:\u003c\/strong\u003e juvenile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariegation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Visible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acclimated and ready to ship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 1.6; color: #6b2d5c;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne specimen.
