    Aizoon glinoides leaves

    Aizoon glinoides leaves
    Author: Ivan Lätti
    Photographer: Thabo Maphisa

    The alternate leaves of Aizoon glinoides are sometimes crowded at the stem-tips, growing on short or about no petioles.

    The leaf-shape is ovate, tapering to acute or obtuse points, sometimes rounded. The thickish blades are hairy to conspicuously long-haired, particularly along the margins. The blades often curve in a little from the lateral margins, sometimes slightly folded at the midrib.

    The leaves are mostly shorter than 1 cm, a plant usually displaying leaves of many sizes (Curtis-Scott, et al, 2020; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
