Image information

Description

These Felicia muricata leaves are narrowly oblong, sparsely hairy and showing widely spaced, tiny marginal teeth. The leaf midrib is recessed or channelled, the narrow leaf blade halves bulging, their green surfaces covered in large cells presenting a rough, fleshy appearance.

The leaf tip is rounded, the midrib channel not reaching it. Leaves become about 15 mm long and 2 mm wide. Some of the leaves in picture curve down.

Leaf positioning is alternate. They sometimes subtend whorls of secondary, smaller leaves growing from their axils (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010; iSpot).
