Pterygodium dracomontanum leaves

Several leaves are grown by a Pterygodium dracomontanum plant annually. They are stem-clasping and reducing in size up the flower stem while angling up and away from it. The leaves are lance-shaped to linear, smooth-margined but ridge-surfaced and tapering to acutely pointed tips. Leaf dimensions are 5 cm to 21 cm long and averaging 1,5 cm wide (Liltved and Johnson, 2012; iNaturalist).
