A relatively new introduction, many hybrids of it abound. This is true arabicum with those delicate pink flowers and lightly veined, tomentose leaves. It's a bit slower growing than the other species but it develops a very large, wide, and globose caudex - possibly one of the biggest of all.

This is quite easy to grow but difficult for us to propagate. Our supplies are always limited.
