Notes:
Plants with semi-erect to erect somewhat sprawling (floppy) growth habit, leaves tending to be narrower and more pointed than P. sporadica when alive, and somewhat curling inwards when dry (rhough not as pronounced as in P. xenica). Both putative parents common in this area. Plants of this type not infrequent on the cliffs.
