    The "needle leaved" Lepanthes.It has "normal" round leaves when imature, which develop into the thin adult form.

    New one to me and I love leaves that look like green-beans or similar shape. Thanks.

    Wow...what a difference. It's hard to believe that this leaf develops into the one above. Thanks for posting.

    That is not what I thought the 'immature" leaves would look like. (I wasn't thinking about the growths of a young/baby seedling.)
    Now I know what you meant. Very unique! Thanks again.

    There are quite a few lepanthes that have different young leaves. And since I haven't said it before: I really like your plant, Spiro.
