Notes:
Garden Discard or Cultivation Escape? A single large plant 1 × 1 m growing within basalt lava, outcropping within cemetery grounds. Not cultivated nearby. Cemetery ill kept and people tend to dump their garden waste in it! Specimen could have been planted but its location in basalt rock would have necessitated some considerable effort to get it established and I feel it is more likely to have grown from a discarded piece than a whole plant. Leaves blue-green above, finely striped white to glaucous white below. Margins of leaves armed with sharp mucronate teeth, these break readily and impart painful wounds in skin (a tingling sensation occurs for several hours after handling). Flowers red - but this flowers erratically, and I have not seen it flower for several years. DUPLICATE TO: CHR
