The leaf blade is 90 to 180 millimetres (3.5 to 7.1 in) in length and 1.5 to 3 cm (0.59 to 1.18 in) wide, [9] [11] and often curved. [11] The leaves are attached to the limbs or twigs via a petiole that is typically 1 to 3 cm (0.39 to 1.18 in) in length. [9] The apex of the leaf is pointed and the base tapers to the petiole.

The leaves are green, and lighter on the underside. [8] The bark and leaves have a pungent scent resembling camphor when bruised, [8] due to a chemical known as umbellulone. [6] The leaves are entire and lance-shaped about 3–10 centimetres (1.2–3.9 in) long. They may substitute for the Mediterranean bay leaf in cooking.
Deciduous sassafras trees lose all of their leaves for part of the year, depending on variations in rainfall. [15] In deciduous tropical Lauraceae, leaf loss coincides with the dry season in tropical, subtropical and arid regions. Sassafras is commonly found in open woods, along fences, or in fields.
Every species in the genus is an evergreen, and the leaves vary in size from minute and scale-like (M. micromera) to 270 mm (11 in) long (M. leucadendra). Most have distinct oil glands dotted in the leaves, making the leaves aromatic, especially when crushed. [2]: 20–21 Melaleuca flowers are usually arranged in spikes or heads.
