...but the stems.
This fairly rare palm, Caryota zebrina, has regular green fronds

But the stems are variegated like a zebra!

Here's an interesting example. Rooted cuttings of this tree are solid green, as are mature plants, but the seedlings have white mottling for a while.



I don't know if this technically qualifies as variegation, but it falls into the same category. Smiling

Stems of Alocasia reticulata

Sometimes the leaves also have a reticulated pattern, sometimes they are plain, like mine. Some people believe that the 2 forms are different species but they are really not. Its just a natural variation.
