Native to: Central or South America, locality unknown
Type: Shingler
Marcgravia sp. ‘Mendez’ is a very attractive shingling species with oval leaves that grow close together. The new growth starts out with an orange tone rather than red, with lime green markings along the midrib and around the edges. It turns green as it matures but the light colored venation often remains visible. Although it can start out very small, the leaves have reached about 3/4″ long in our experience.
