whether it is Chinese so I doubt approximately 15 to 20 years ago, this plant has been regularly circulated in the Netherlands and Belgium among enthusiasts.
but as it so often you see a rarity a few years and it disappears to an x elsewhere to emerge, often under a different name. several years later
and remember Chinese are masters at copying but not in the self into the market of a novelty.
