Sue,
I once had a plant of Neobenthamia gracils about 4 feet tall... it is a toughy to keep alive... I ended up selling it to a local grower along with my collection of Tetramicra. The flowers smell kinda like bubble gum, and kinda like perfume... it's cool to grow... a plant about 5mm thick and about a foot long will be blooming size... I only have a single division left, and should bloom within the coming months... this unispecific species makes new growth at nodes along the stem of the plant. This species is also VERY root rot susceptible, I lost one smaller plant to it...
Good luck growing it though, I believe this species comes from Africa (?), I don't remember... ttyl,
-PM
