    The stem-tip inflorescence of Coleus venteri, previously Plectranthus venteri, starts off like this: The buds initially hide in a dense green column behind four ranks of rounded, leaf-like, flower-subtending bracts.

    Below the developing flowers the hairy leaves with drooping lobes resemble green basset hound ears. Some pale yellow leaf midrib translucence is visible, as well as the purple stems where the leaves fail to cover them (http://www.glasshouseworks.com).
