None of the references I have looked at mention the peculiar structures at the bases of the new leaves in your photo. They all mention the overlapping bracts round the developing flower clusters.

This is the plant identified as A. suaveolens when it was flowering. I first thought the new leaves were developing pods because they appeared to be coming from the bracts.

Could you add the URL for the first sighting. Also add the URL for this sighting as a comment to the previous sighting so that there is a time line.
