Erica glandulosa subsp. fourcadei older leaves

Erica glandulosa subsp. fourcadei old leaves are notably less hairy than the young ones. Some yellowed leaves have lost their healthy dark green colour. A few leaves display the pronounced way in which leaf margins are rolled under, making them appear barrel-shaped.

The stems also vary in hairiness (Baker and Oliver, 1967; iNaturalist; http://pza.sanbi.org).
