Bustled-backed foliage is one of the rarer leaf types for African violets. Only 40 hybrids are currently listed in the AVSA Master List of over 19,000 varieties. The earliest hybridizing with the trait was done by Jimmy Dates in the 1960s. It was 35 years later when Tina Moreno, David Senk, Sharlene Jones, and Wes Carter, among others, would resume that work.
