Each of the separate species bear differently shaped leaves and their form and growth habits are also distinct.

The leaves of P. alba are quite narrow and corrugated, unlike any other. Leaves of P. pudica are remarkably unique with their elongated oak shape and glossy, dark green color. P. pudica is also one of the rare everblooming types with non-deciduous, evergreen leaves. Another species that is retains leaves and flowers in winter is P. obtusa; though its common name is "Singapore", it is originally from Colombia.
