please see ebay item number 110247002209

Its not a Nagensium as far as I can see. I've got loads of Nagensium and Nagensium X but haven't yet seen one with colouration on the leaves. Any thoughts anyone?

This is apparently a new hybrid and was listed in error.
The seller has approx 40 of them and is growing them on before listing them again. I was lucky enough to obtain a couple of pups from him. The origins are a TC lab that have not divulged the source of the hybrid to the seller. I guess we have to wait and see if and how they develop. Note; the plant shown in the photo wasnt the real thing. Here is a photo of one of the larger pups he has;
