    Much-lobed Euryops othonnoides leaves end in fine points at each lobe tip. The lobes vary in length as well as colour, more or less equating to the coverings of velvety hairs. The leaves in turn vary in the extent to which they develop lobes.

    Shape and size features are adapted to retain leaf moisture in the plants semi-arid environment (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2010; iNaturalist).
