Matucana aureiflora

Peruvian, solitary body to 13 cm diameter. Bright yellow flowers in summer, but the glossy deep green bodies with almost pectinate clusters of bicoloured spines are as much of an attraction. Medium light, away from winter's wetness.

4.Indoors OK, Outdoors OK only if protected from winter rain.

Bicoloured subpectinate spines and glossy deep green bodies.

Older plant.

This form was large but not so glossy, so not grown by us any longer.
