Its leathery, lanceolate 25–40 cm long leaves have a herringbone pattern of broad silvery-grey bars on a green background, with dull reddish-purple undersides. Most commonly grown is the cultivar ‘Tricolor’ with irregular blotches of creamy yellow; the red undersides give it a reddish glow from above. Native to Brazil.
