Whatever it is, it has only touched these two local natives -- Sida ulmifolia and Sida acuta -- and only the freshest of the mature leaves. I've clipped off the affected ones.
Thanks for looking!
It's a leaf miner of some sort. Get them on my citrus. Preventative spraying usually does the trick. I hear spinosad-containing sprays work well and they're organic I think.

Thanks -- I'll look into that. These little plants are free for the digging, but I like them a lot and hope they'll shape up well over time, if I can keep them healthy.
