flat-topped cymes 3 to 4 inches in diameter. |

4-7 inches, crinkled leaves
evergreen in the warmer climates but
semi-evergreen in northern areas. Similar to
V.
rhytidophyllum except leaves broader and
less rugose, not as elongated and a degree less
dark green and leathery. Another good trait is
the flower bud which is tightly clustered like a
cauliflower where V. rhytidophyllum is
larger and looser. |
