Brachyglottis Repanda
From LoveToKnow Garden
Brachyglottis Repanda - A New Zealand shrub, with fine foliage, deeply toothed; of a deep green, mottled with dark purple on the upper side and silvery-white beneath. As many of the leaves on a shrub invariably display their undersides, the sharp contrast between the white and the deep green is striking. The leaves are nearly a foot in length and 8 inches in breadth. In the small state they are ivory-white on both sides. The flowers are said to be minute and inconspicuous, but the shrub is not apparently a free bloomer, as a specimen that has grown at Kingswear, S. Devon, for six years, and is now 5 feet 6 inches in height, has shown no sign of blossom up to the present. It appears to be quite hardy in the southwest. Syn. Senecio Fosteri.
