Question

Certain properties are mentioned below. Find a leaf corresponding to each property and describe those plants:
leaves with a smooth surface leaves with a rough surface, fleshy leaf, spines on leaf.

Accepted Answer

Leaves with a smooth surface- Salix caroliniana is a plant with smooth leaves. They are commonly known as southern willow. They have simple smooth-edged narrow leaves.
Leaves with a rough surface- Asperifolia plant has rough leaves. This plant comes under the category of shrubs. Rough leaves have more surface area than smooth leaves, providing more space for evapotranspiration across the surface of the leaf to occur.

Fleshy leaves- The leaves of succulents hold moisture, which is also why most plants with fleshy leaves also need less water. When plants with fleshy leaves are under watered, you may see their leaves become less thick or shrivelled, because they are using their moisture reserves to hydrate themselves. Example: Aloe.
Spines on leaf- Acacia trees (in the bean family) have spines made of modified leaf stipules.
