    The leaves of Rabiea albinota are dotted with minute, mostly whitish, raised papillae. Some leaves may also end in distinct, sharpish protrusions pointing inwards. The initial pale grey-green leaf colour changes much with age, orange yellow and blackish some of the colour options.

    The unripe fruit capsules in picture are pale pink at this stage. Some sepal lobes still persist on the capsule perimeters (Smith, et al, 2017; Smith, et al, 1998; iNaturalist).
