Odd tree in Panama
We recently bought property in the mountains of Panama. On this
property there is a tree (~40' tall) with very peculiar characteristics. Perhaps someone can help in determining if it is truly strange or otherwise not so unusual. This tree has two types of leaves. In some places it has broad leaves similar to maple leaves, while in others it has elongated narrow leaves, similar to eucalyptus. As we have seen, the leaf locations change with time. Early in the rainy season, it had mostly the broad leaves, but 3 months later had switched to the narrow variety. Although there is some grouping of the leaves, they are not limb specific and the two leaf types can be found side by side. Can anyone help? I will worry about the exact identification later. BenS |

BenS Please try to describe the tree in common botanical vernacular and the respected experts here will likely help you. -Echosyn |
