Coccoloba gigantifolia is a tree which grows to about 49 feet (15 meters) in height and has leaves that can reach 8 feet (2.4 meters) in length, and 4 ft 7 in (1.40 meters) in width, the third [citation needed] largest known leaf among dicotyledonous plants after Gunnera manicata and Victoria boliviana. [3]
Its once-pinnate leaves are up to 6ft. 7in (200 centimeters) in length, with individual leaflets up to 23 inches (58 cm) long by seven inches (18 cm) wide.. [2] This is the largest once-pinnate leaf of any hardwood (Dicot) tree. The tree can reach a height of up to eighty-eight feet (27 meters). [3]
It is most noteworthy for producing the largest leaves of any dicot shrub, with a blade or lamina up to 3.9 feet (120 cm) in length and 12 inches (30 cm) wide. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] References
Dicotyledon plantlet Young castor oil plant showing its prominent two embryonic leaves (), which differ from the adult leaves. The dicotyledons, also known as dicots (or, more rarely, dicotyls), [2] are one of the two groups into which all the flowering plants (angiosperms) were formerly divided.
A mature tree has few branches [3]: 129 growing large pinnate leaves, which are the largest of all dicot tree leaves. Each leaf stalk is up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) long comprising four pinnate branches, [12] each branch is approximately 1 metre (3.3 ft) in length and comparably wide, [7] [13] borne on petioles or stalks. All parts of the leaflet ...
Dicot leaves have blades with pinnate venation (where major veins diverge from one large mid-vein and have smaller connecting networks between them). Less commonly, dicot leaf blades may have palmate venation (several large veins diverging from petiole to leaf edges). Finally, some exhibit parallel venation. [19]
The eudicots, Eudicotidae, or eudicotyledons are a clade of flowering plants (angiosperms) which are mainly characterized by having two seed leaves (cotyledons) upon germination. [1] The term derives from dicotyledon (etymologically, eu = true; di = two; cotyledon = seed leaf). Historically, authors have used the terms tricolpates or non ...
The conifer division of plants includes the tallest organism, and the largest single-stemmed plants by wood volume, wood mass, and main stem circumference.The largest by wood volume and mass is the giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), native to Sierra Nevada and California; it grows to an average height of 70–85 m (230–279 ft) and 5–7 m (16–23 ft) in diameter.
