This species is native to central Madagascar and has several varieties and forms. The typical form, var. synsepala, has rather rounded leaves and the variety dissecta has deeply incised, elongate leaves. This form, called nova is somewhere in between. A nice plant and different enough from the others to make it a desirable addition to your collection. As with the others, the thick, leathery leaves are borne on a stout stem and grow 90 degrees opposite from the leaves below. Offsets are produced on long stolons.
