Description

Leaf shapes vary on Othonna perfoliata plants. Leaf fortunes do as well. The upper leaves in picture have come to grief on this branched stem that displays varied leaf-shapes in spite of all their manifestations of misfortune.

While withering, some leaves are still generous in revealing their lower surfaces, paler than the upper ones in picture. Some leaves, unable to expand in size towards the front, the prolonged tip provided for in their genes, managed to bulge more elaborately at the base than is usually seen… all green leaf parts will photosynthesise, however shaped (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010; Manning, 2009; Manning and Goldblatt, 1996; Moriarty, 1997; iSpot).
