Bauhinia pottsii var. mollissima (wall. ex Prain) K.larsen & S.S.Larsen

Deviates from var. pottsii in the greyish green upper leaf surface, velvety, sometimes with a 'mouldy' look; the greyish to light brown buds; the appressed pubescent ovary; the three posterior petals are spathulate with claw longer than or equal to the lamina. The 'mouldy' look is apparently due to some scaly excretions or glands.
