Rough Velvetseed (Guettarda scabra) Leaves

Rough Velvetseed (Guettarda scabra) Leaves

This wide ranging tropical species occurs from Brazil to Central Florida. Named for the bristly leaf texture and downy fruits this species does not usually survive in the understory of the mature hammocks. Its survival in the areea depends on disturbances like lightning and storm winds that open gaps in the canopy.
