This Massonia depressa has brown speckled leaves as they emerge, turning dark olive green with just faint brown speckles later. The Massonia jasminiflora with pustulate leaves doesn't change colour instead.

The one I pictured earlier is evergreen. It still has an old leaf on it now which you can see in the picture. If it gets too dry in Summer the greenfly attack it.
