In botany , a sport or bud sport , traditionally called lusus , [ 2 ] is a part of a plant that shows morphological differences from the rest of ...
For example, bud scales occur on numerous kinds of leaf or branch buds, as well as on flower buds. [citation needed] Protective masses of dead leaves encircle the stems of some species of palm trees or aloes, but those are not usually regarded as cataphylls because their primary function while alive is photosynthesis.

English: This diagram show a specific parts of a leaf that is on a stem. The parts included are: 1. Apex 2. Midvein (Primary vein) 3. Secondary vein. 4. Lamina. 5. Leaf margin 6. Petiole 7. Bud 8. Stem
The bud scales enlarge with the growing shoot and often become leaf-like. Like all viburnums, the leaves are arranged in opposite pairs on the twigs; they are oval, 5–10 cm (2–4 in) long and 2–5 cm ( 3 ⁄ 4 –2 in) broad, wedge-shaped, rounded or subcordate at base, with an acuminate apex and a finely serrated margin, and a winged petiole .
