Description
FUKURYU is a Japanese word that would mean presence many irregular (more or less prominent) “warts” or additional small ribs between and on the stem surface.
Variegated Form
The reticulate form is a fascinanting cultivars with a very wrinkled appearance that look quite different for a fukuryu but very nice and comes in several degrees of reticulation. The small extra ribs on the stems are very thin, slightly on relief and form a net like pattern or design, furthermore each ribs has a white felty line on it so it seems like the ribs are connected with each other.
