While exploring the wild in my local area i.e. Darjeeling, I came across something I’ve never seen documented before — a Pouzolzia zeylanica with stable cream/yellow vein variegation on every leaf, including fresh growth. This genus is almost always solid green in the wild and has no recorded ornamental or variegated cultivars in horticultural or scientific literature. The pale areas follow the venation perfectly, with no tissue damage, rot, or nutrient stress symptoms — suggesting this is true genetic variegation. Given how under-studied Pouzolzia is in ornamental horticulture, this might be the first recorded example. Has anyone ever seen something like this before?
