The margins have some spins and the apex is acute. The upper surface finely pubescent and s tinted in red when young and during autumn before falling.

Flower: The pendant crateriform flowers have 8-sepals with 4-white unequal outer that are shed and 4-petaloid that are spreading. The 4-white to rose pink petals form a pouch and may or may not have spurs. They are arranged in a lax raceme that is held above the foliage on a slender scape and appear from mid to late spring.
