I prefer the type with the short leaves.

Interesting sport. I wonder if there are more out there?

very wild looking...rare cultivar I'd like to have. Almost any flowering adductum is a rare cultivar though.

I agree I'll be happy with 3 flowers actually bonus if 5

I think it is one of those natural hybrids.... anitum and adductum frequently cross with randsii, which would explains the higher flower count and the appearance of the plant... They do back cross in the jungle too, as one of the wild randsii x anitum I have seen had seed caps on its previous growth.
