| Description | Collected in Taiwan in 2012, one of the most exceptional of the Pyrossias, forming substantial evergreen mounds of leathery palmate foliage. In nature, it is often found growing on moss-covered rocky surfaces and will shrivel during dry conditions while resurrecting after rains. In the garden, it will stay lush when provided summer moisture. Ideal on a slope in partial shade, but can also be used as an easy care container plant. |

| History | Collected by Dan Hinkley in Taiwan, 2012. A potted plant was brought to the Monrovia nursery in 2014, where it was propagated. It wasn't introduced to the market until 2020. |
