Description Edit

Leaves in Florida
The bark of the bayur tree is grey in color and is considered to be fairly soft.
Small twigs and new growth can sometimes seem feathery and are commonly more of a
rusty-brown color. The leaves of the tree are palmately ribbed and have stipules.
The leaves grow in an alternate arrangement. Leaf shape can range from oblong,
broadly obovate to ovate. Leaf edges are commonly dentate (toothed) or irregularly
lobed. Many leaves tend to droop downward, giving the tree the appearance that it
is wilting, when in fact it could have a sufficient amount of water available. The
top side of the leaves is a dark green color with a glabrescent texture. The leaves
are rough and rubbery to limit the loss of moisture in a hot climate. The leaves do
not tear even on crumpling. The bottom side of the leaves range from a silver to
rust color and are pubescent. Leaves have a peltate blade base, meaning the
insertion of the petiole is at the center of the leaf. Pollen is spherical with
spikes and approximately 60 microns in size.
