x Colbergaria

I got this plant from Belisles, and it's labeled x Colbergaria "Louise Harris". Belisle's catalog says it's a cross between Columnea and Colbergaria. I haven't been able to find any info on it on the internet. Anyone know more about it?

  1. That's a nice color combination of dark leaves and dark flowers.

  2. xColbergia Louise Harris is now just Columnea as Dalbergia was one of Hans Weihler's divisions of the genus, and the consensus of the other Botanists is that Columnea is one genus. Under gene sequencing review right now. It wasn't registered on the list that's on the GS website, so no other data. ONe parent is in Hans' Dalbergia division of Columnea
