Viscum rotundifolium leaves

    Viscum rotundifolium leaves

    The leaves of Viscum rotundifolium may be sessile or positioned so close to the stem that a petiole is not readily visible, as on the plant in picture. There are also forms of this plant with petiolate leaves, the bases of which attenuate into definite stalks of a few millimetres.

    Older leaves are bluish grey here while young ones emerge in fresh green, as does the new stem tip growth.
