    Probably subsp. zuluensis, since the leaves are thin and leathery in contrast to the other C. praetermissa I have, which has thick, succulent leaves. I love the smell of Christmas spices!

    Yes, it from this very plant. Does your piece also have these yellow leaf tips? Mine developed this recently almost from one day to the other, but hasn't changed much since. It's only at the older leaves. While taking the photos yesterday I noticed a few mites, but mite bites usually look different.
