The difference between velvet needle and silver fox tail

Velvet needle morphology characteristics

Velvet needle is a small to medium-sized variety. The plant is not too big and has short and thin stems. As time goes by, it gradually stretches to form a group of old piles.

The leaves are opposite, the plant diameter is not very large, the leaves are short, the new leaves are oblong, the old leaves have slightly concave surfaces, and the leaves are pointed. The entire leaf blade has transparent hairs.

Silver Fox Tail Morphological Characteristics

The silver fox's tail is also known as the long-leaf silver sword (velvet needle), which is a subspecies of the silver sword (velvet needle). Silver Fox Tail is a small to medium sized variety, the plant is not too big and has a short stem. As time goes by, it gradually stretches to form a group of old piles.

The leaves are opposite, the plant diameter is not very large, the leaves are relatively long, the new leaves are oblong, the old leaves have concave leaf surfaces and are relatively pointed. The entire leaf blade has transparent hairs.

The difference between velvet needles and silver fox tails: different leaves

The leaves of the velvet needle are shorter, while the leaves of the silver fox's tail are more than twice as long as those of the velvet needle. Moreover, the hair on the silver fox's tail is relatively thin and long compared to the hair needles.

The degree of concavity of the leaf surface of old leaves is deeper in the silver fox's tail than in the velvet needle.
