- First described
- 2012
- Type
- single clone locality lettered series
Origin
Old Dock, Columbus Co, NC. Mike's lettered series from this site includes at least Clones A through I, implying a substantial multi-clone holding from one locality.
Standout traits
- Heavy veining throughout the body (not just the lid).
- Vigorous grower.
- Deep red lip.
Cultivation notes
Standard purpurea care; vigor noted. Red-vein phenotype may be environment-induced (Mike's hypothesis, 2012).

Standout traits
- Heavy veining throughout the body of the plant
- Vigorous grower (Mike, post #1, 2012)
- Deep red lip (defalotus, post #2, 2012)
- Red veins in green-background lid — possibly environmental rather than fixed-genetic (Mike, post #1, 2012)
Cultivation
Vigorous; standard purpurea care. Mike (post #1) hypothesizes the red-vein expression may be environment-driven rather than fixed-genetic — needs validation by side-by-side grow-out under varied light/temperature conditions.

Naming
Mike's working "Clone I" — Old Dock lettered series. The lettering reaches I, implying ≥9 distinct individuals Mike has selected from this single wild site.
