description_en: Genus of 5 species (or 1 very variable species) of evergreen perennials from semi-shady, rocky crevices in Chile. The leaves are obovate to broadly lance-shaped, wavy-margined, softly hairy, usually pinnatisect, with several small, often rounded lobes and one large terminal lobe, 6-13cm (2 1/2-5in) long, borne in basal rosettes. Cross-shaped, 4-, occasionally 5-petalled, delicate-looking, white or pink flowers, with darker markings, are borne in long-stalked, terminal, spike-like racemes, some with basal branches. Cultivated for use in floral arrangements, bridal wreaths can be grown as edging for a border, or in a woodland or courtyard garden. In frost-prone areas, grow in a cool greenhouse or as houseplants.
