Monopsis debilis var. gracilis leaves

    Monopsis debilis var. gracilis leaves

    The alternate leaves of Monopsis debilis are sessile (stalkless), tending to spiral up the soft stem, sometimes veering to one side of it. The leaf-shape is narrowly elliptic, tapering to acutely pointed tips. The margins are sparsely toothed, the teeth in picture sharply angular. Basal leaves become about 5 cm long, stem leaves only 3 cm (Manning, 2007; Le Roux, et al, 2005; Eliovson, 1990; iNaturalist).
