Disa rungweensis leaves

Disa rungweensis grows ten to fifteen pointed, narrowly elliptic leaves that sheathe the stem. The basal leaves are long and narrowly lance-shaped, borne semi-erectly. The leaves fold in along the longitudinal axis of their blades. Leaf margins undulate and are sometimes crisped. The largest leaves are about 9 cm long and up to 1,5 cm wide.

Stem leaves or cauline leaves reduce in size on the way up (iNaturalist; www.orchidspecies.com; www.nyika-vwaza-trust.org).
