Struthiola dodecandra leaves
Author: Ivan Lätti
Photographer: Judd Kirkel Welwitch
The opposite, stalkless and hairless leaves of Struthiola dodecandra are lanceolate to narrowly elliptic in shape with pointed tips. They ascend, not always as closely to the stem as in the photo. The whitish longitudinal lines or ribbing sometimes seen upon the otherwise smooth leaves are present here (Manning, 2007; iSpot).
