It is much more sparesly leaved than other species and that makes it look more elegant. It can be distiguished by the rust color on the new leaves (not appreciated much on a seedling like this). This plant has killer teeth along the petioles- careful! This is not a fast grower, either. In fact, none of these 4 species here are what I would call fast growers, at least not here in So Cal. If you want faster species, there are many others that fit that bill... but all tend to look more alike, with the typical ribbon - drooping leaves (L decipiens, now called decorum, L australis, L nitida and L mariae and the two related newly named ones- L rigida and L occidentalis) This message was edited Aug 30, 2006 10:05 PM This message was edited Aug 30, 2006 10:05 PM |
