Need your help in identifying this leaf

[sar-photo]

Yes, that's right - I'm asking the mighty members of RFF to help me identify the tree that this leaf comes from...

I am framing photo's for an exhibition and need to know for the title of the photo.

I put it in this forum as I hope to sell it and make some Photo Bucks $$$!

Cheers

Where are you located? North America? Europe? How big of a tree? Or is it a big shrub?

I'm in the UK but the tree is not from the UK. All I have is the leaf - I've no idea what the tree looks like!

You should go to the local library and find a book on indigenous trees and schrubs. I don't think it would take you long to identify it.

Nice image though!

you took a photo of a leaf...where did you shoot it?

In my bedroom!

well it looks like a fern of some sort to be honest. If it came from a shop in an arrangement I would not count on it being a tree leaf. How did you come to receive this leaf? Did you take it from the plant?

Had it for ages - not sure where it came from.

send photo with a ruler alongside the leaf to a local nursery, horticultural society or agricultural school. someone ou there can identify it in 2 seconds.

I searched google images and didnt see a match then I got bored

I'm pretty good on trees of the eastern U.S., but....

As somebody mentioned, the leaf looks like it might be from a fern. The "zig-zag" pattern is very similar to several ferns that grow around the Great Lakes.

What Jim said...

My guess is it looks like a fern from the genus Asplenium or Osmunda. Or some other type of fern. It's hard to say though as your photo "leaves" most of it out!

Thanks guys - I'll send a photo to the local botanic gardens and see if they know what it is.

I like the picture, and the mystery.

I only get a question mark where the photo should be. Can you fix your link?
