Mexican suckering, stemless species sought after for its deep green, soft, nearly circular leaves that are bright, powdery white on the undersides and very 'user-friendly' (petioles basically toothless). But it is also a pretty rare species in cultivation, though unsure why... hard to find and very slow growing.
