    A triploid hybrid between (A. manglesii x A. flavidus tetraploid) x (A. rufus x A. flavidus tetraploid) was created by Keith Oliver, at Lakkari Native Plant Nursery in Western Australia and first registered in 1983.

    Fans only flower once and need to be cleaned out after the flowering period. Remove the old leaves down as low as possible at the end of a season. Take care not to damage the new fans.
