ID by leaf

[Diane Whitehead]

I've just been repotting seedlings from previous years, and am amazed at
the variety of leaf forms and colours.  Then I began to wonder if my
labels are right.

One pot labelled A. peninsulae AIK 150 Avent '98 has 4 plants.  Three have
plain light green leaves, and one has almost-white irregular patches along
the midrib.

A pot labelled A. limbatum v aequinoctiale Gusman Nov '96 has only one
plant, but it looks very similar to the white-marked plant in the first
pot.

A pot labelled A. peninsulae Silver Center AIK 149 Avent Feb '98 has one
plant also like the other two white-marked plants, but the leaf is a
darker green.

Should there be these similarities, or have I dropped a seed in the wrong
pot, switched a label etc?

===================================================
A  pot of A. ringens has each plant looking identical, I'm happy to see.
Each leaf is a dark shiny plasticky green.  Trifoliate.  Is this right?

I scrutinize the pictures on the various websites, but it's hard to tell
what the leaves are really like for many of the species.
