It produces 3–6 linear leaves, all growing from the base of the plant, and each 7–16 millimetres (0.28–0.63 in) wide. [11] An inflorescence of 5–12 (exceptionally 3–32) flowers is borne on a stem up to 500 mm (20 in) tall, which droops towards the tip; [ 2 ] the flowers are arranged in a 1-sided nodding raceme .

Chart illustrating leaf morphology terms. The following terms are used to describe leaf morphology in the description and taxonomy of plants. Leaves may be simple (that is, the leaf blade or 'lamina' is undivided) or compound (that is, the leaf blade is divided into two or more leaflets). [1]
Drosera linearis is a herbaceous perennial with gland-tipped hairs covering long linear leaves. Plants form rosettes that are 6–15 cm wide. The stalks of the leaves are 5 mm wide and hairless. The leaf blades are linear-shaped, 1–6 cm long, and 1.5–3 mm wide with edges lined with hair-like glands.
The leaves appear relatively late in spring, and turn a clear pale yellow in autumn. The leaflets fold together in wet weather and at night , as some change of position at night is a habit of the entire leguminous family. Young trees are often spiny, especially on root suckers and branches near the ground; mature trees often lack spines.
A 10-year-old tree is typically about 5 m (20 ft) tall. As with most trees, forest-grown sugar maples form a much taller trunk and narrower canopy than open-growth ones. [citation needed] The leaves are deciduous, up to 20 cm (7.9 in) long and wide, [8] palmate, with five lobes and borne in opposite pairs. The basal lobes are relatively small ...
Although live oaks retain their leaves nearly year-round, they are not true evergreens.Live oaks drop their leaves immediately before new leaves emerge in the spring. Occasionally, senescing leaves may turn yellow or contain brown spots in the winter, leading to the mistaken belief that the tree has oak wilt, whose symptoms typically occur in the sum
The leaves are palmately compound with five leaflets 8–16 cm (3– 6 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long and broad. The flowers are produced in panicles in spring, red, yellow to yellow-green, each flower 2–3 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long with the stamens longer than the petals (unlike the related yellow buckeye, where the stamens are shorter than the petals).
Ostrya virginiana (American hophornbeam) is a small deciduous understory tree growing to 18 m (59 ft) tall and 20–50 centimetres (8–20 in) trunk diameter. The bark is brown to gray-brown, with narrow shaggy plates flaking off, while younger twigs and branches are smoother and gray, with small lenticels.
