Also known as ‘Noble Sanderi”, this gorgeous variety is about twice the size of the species and has significantly less silver-white coloration around the midrib, the primary lateral veins and the margins. The margins are much less sinuate than the species. The leaf surface has as much black as it has green giving rise to the bronzy-red reflections.
