    Notobubon galbanum leaves
    Author: Ivan Lätti
    Photographer: Thabo Maphisa

    The long-stalked, compound leaves of Notobubon galbanum have leaflets wedge-shaped in the lower halves of leaflets, three-lobed or diamond-shaped and angularly toothed in the upper halves. The pale green to yellow-green upper blade surfaces in picture have pale, branching veins ascending into the lobes. The leaf margins are serrated. The lower leaf surfaces are usually grey to bluish. The leaves become up to 5 cm long.   

    These leaves appear attractive, but hold risk of blisters on human skin. The blisters may appear only later, sometimes delayed for up to two days after contact with the plant (Bean and Johns, 2005; Mustart, et al, 1997; iNaturalist; http://pza.sanbi.org).
