indumentum

A dense indumentum is usually related to the increment of a boundary layer in plants, which ends up decreasing the transpiration rates and reflecting the excessive light, as well as increasing the defenses against herbivores (Schreuder et al, 2001; Carmona et al., 2011).

Frutex 2-4 m altus; cortex brunneo-rubellus ad griseus leviter fisuratus; ramuli teretes ad leviter compressi hirtuli vel pilosi, hoc indumentum persistens ut in petiolo, costa, nerviis lateralibus et inflorescentia.
