The name of the species refers to the region of Kenya where the first specimen was found. It is a pleasant shrub with a thin and woody stem, which tends in nature to reach remarkable heights, sometimes branching like a real tree. Along the stem come out pretty pale green leaves, rather lively and with well evident veins, which have a characteristic ovoid shape and are pointed at the apex. Their glossy appearance makes the margins stand out even more, typically dyed with an intense purplish-red, which tends to become even brighter with a greater sun exposure. Overall, this pleasant plant takes on an aspect of perfection, in which the foliage looks really wonderfully designed!
