A diminutive cross between diminutive, closely related parents, but hopefully that will result in a slightly easier to grow plant that looks similar to them. Both parent species rarely exceed an inch in diameter if they manage even that, with small heavily incurved leaves that flush rich red along their underside margins and sometimes infuse through the rest of the tissue. Flowers on both are nearly pure white, with red stigmas and at least in gracilis a yellowish spot on the palate, with the central lower petal notably larger than all of the rest (most exaggerated in immaculata), so these hybrids should also produce something similar. In winter, they shrink to incredibly small, densely hairy rosettes for the dry season.
Available plants are a half inch in diameter, and may not grow too much larger than that overall.
