Plant of medium size. very dwarf, foliage very dark 
green, inclining to bluish, blisters very prominent, dense; 
head rather small, round, yellowish green, rarely compact; 
outer leaves rather numerous, large, flat or reflexed, very 
spreading, the lower ones resting on the ground, border 
nearly plain. 
Although this Savoy rarely forms a compact head, it is 
esteemed for its outer leaves, which, owing to the slight 
development of its ribs and veins, are scarcely less tender 
than those that form the head.
