Phyllodes Sentence Examples
The most dominant order in Australia is Leguminosae, including the acacias with leaf-like phyllodes (absent in New Zealand).
Some plants appear with extremities of the phyllodes in a horizontal direction; but in many instances they are not developed, and the phyllode serves the purpose of a leaf.
These phyllodes, by their vertical position and their peculiar form, give a remarkable aspect to vegetation.
The curved phyllodes resemble small sickles and are a distinctive feature of koa trees and can often be seen on trees at the roadside.
