Distinguishing Characteristics:
The special coloration depends on the amount of light, but goes from a very light green in the variegated areas to a deep dark green.

In young leaves, the variegation is hardly noticeable at first and occurs vigorously as soon as the leaf hardens. On larger and older leaves, the variegation is also visible on the petioles and the veins.
