Field Collection Notes
Growing under Ulex europeus at side of road, with Pteris tremula & Tradescantia fluminensis. Much larger than T. fluminensis. In my garden this plant is the reverted form os a green and white variegated cultivar. It is much more aggressive than the variegated form and rapidly smothers it.
