I believe that it is a lighter color form of B. tomentosa, though the foliage seems perhaps a little large? Hopefully others will have more conclusive opinions here. Regards-- Ken Greby Los Angeles, CA USA --- On Wed, 9/2/09, rashida atthar <rashid...@hotmail.com> wrote:

Besides colour, I find the leaves are distinctly cordate in these photographs, they are not cordate according to FBI.
