Triaspis glaucophylla leaves

The simple leaves of Triaspis glaucophylla are opposite and decussate with no stipules.

The leaf-shape is ovate to rounded. The leaf tip is sometimes bluntly pointed, slightly notched or bearing a mucro, while the base is obtusely angled and lobed, meaning heart-shaped.

The bright green to blue-green blades have cream midribs and few ascending and incurving lateral veins, apart from finely reticulated net-veining. The midribs in picture do not continue straight from the petioles but are obtusely angled.

The blades are more often flat than slightly wavy, sometimes softly white-haired. There are two glands on the blade near the leaf base. The margins are entire.

The petioles are from 2 mm to 10 mm long, pale and thickish (Schmidt, et al, 2002; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; Letty, 1962; iNaturalist).
