''Gasteria bicolor'' (previously named ''Gasteria obliqua'' or ''Gasteria maculata'') is succulent plant native to the Eastern Cape, South Africa. ==Description== This is a very variable species of ''Gasteria'', that is common in cultivation. It grows multiple proliferous stems, all covered in untidy masses of the shiny, mottled, colourful, succulent leaves. It usually forms rosettes, but can sometimes be distichous, especially in cultivation. The leaves can also occasionally develop a keel. Each leaf has a sharp point on the tip. The flowers generally appear on a long stem of about 30 cm, that carries tubular bell-shaped pink to orange flowers.〔(Gasteria bicolor - SANBI redlist page )〕〔(Gasteria bicolor - Gasteria information page )〕 There are three major varieties, which grade into each other: * ''Gasteria bicolor var. bicolor'' (Haw.) The more widespread type variety. * ''Gasteria bicolor var. fallax'' (Haw.) A variety with narrow, elongated, linear, mottled leaves (c.140 x 11mm). Dense clumps are known from the Albany thickets near Swartwaterspoort. * ''Gasteria bicolor var. liliputana'' (Poelln.) Previously classed as the species ''"Gasteria liliputana"''. The smallest variety in the entire ''Gasteria'' genus, the rosettes are around wide. The foliage is dark green with white spots. It is relatively rare and occurs in the Grahamstown area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=davesgarden.com )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gasteria bicolor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
