ProfilePROFILE
Long, narrow leaves open in a star in many directions, forming a flat rosette. Silvery-grey trichomes cover the leaves, the dark ground showing through to give the whole plant a muted grey cast. The marginal teeth are spaced along the edge as each leaf narrows toward the tip. The Battle series is the group Michael Kiehl (Michael's Bromeliads) raised by selfing ‘Mercury’, and our plant came to us as one of that series. In his numbering, D028 received the name ‘Hatchet’, but the name ‘Battle Hatchet’ already appears in a 2019 record, and whether the two are the same plant is not settled.
