Geobotanically, Missouri belongs to the North American Atlantic region, and spans all three floristic provinces that make up the region: the state transitions from the deciduous forest of the Appalachian province to the grasslands of the North American Prairies province in the west and northwest, and the northward extension of the Mississippi embayment places the bootheel in the Atlantic and ...

Individual trees have been known to live for up to around 500 years. [20] All young tulip trees and most mature specimens are intolerant of prolonged inundation; however, a coastal plain swamp ecotype in the southeastern United States is relatively flood-tolerant. [21] This ecotype is recognized by its blunt-lobed leaves, which may have a red tint.
The leaves are alternate, 7–18 cm (2 + 3 ⁄ 4 –7 in) long (rarely to 36 cm or 14 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) and 8–12 cm (3 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) broad (about twice as big as the white mulberry's leaves), [3] simple, broadly cordate, with a shallow notch at the base, typically unlobed on mature trees although often with 2–3 lobes ...
The poisonous plant blends in with nonpoisonous plants and grows all across Missouri, ... and has light green stems and fern-like leaves that can grow up to 6 feet tall in Missouri’s climate ...
Quercus laurifolia is a tree growing to 20–24 meters (65–80 feet) (rarely to 40 m or 130 ft) tall, with a large, circular crown. The leaves are broad lanceolate, 2.5–12.7 centimeters (1–5 inches) long and 1.3–4.4 cm (1 ⁄ 2 – 1 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) broad, and unlobed (very rarely three-lobed) with an entire margin and a bristle tip; they typically fall just as the new leaves start to ...
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]
It is a fast-growing, short-lived tree with opposite, ash-like compound leaves. It is sometimes considered a weedy or invasive species , and has been naturalized throughout much of the world, including South America , Australia , New Zealand , South Africa , much of Europe , and parts of Asia .
