The leaves are sessile or petiolate and are flat, with a narrowly obloid to lanceolate shape. The indumentum of the leaves is stellate, greyish, glabrescent on the top of the leaves and mostly tomentose on the bottom. The leaf margins vary between being smooth and round (entire) or toothed (serrate).
