villous


Explanation:
In a botanical description you would not use 'present' in English. 'Present''is much more common in medicine and might possibly be used with a plant disease, though it's more typical to say 'has xxx', but never in a description.

See the possible types of leaf hairiness at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leaf#Hairiness

That article is a good reference for what you are working on.

In other words, your translation would be 'and is usually villous'. (I had to memorize descriptions of this kind for hundreds of plants in my coursework.)
