The only time I've seen something similar in my D. capensis (in this
case, the 'alba' form) was just after treating the plant with 'Malathion'
(maldison) to shift some persistant aphids. A leaf or two later they
came right.
My guess is that it was some sort of response to extreme stress from
the (nasty) chemical on the leaves that were forming at the time the
spray was applied.
Just my thoughts...
