#tomentose leaves
- Adenostyles tomentosa — A species of perennial, herbaceous plants belonging to the Asteraceae family, native to the mountainous regions of Central and Southern Europe (particularly the Alps, Apennines, and Carpathians). This plant is structurally recognized by its large, cordate leaves covered on the underside with a dense, white-felty pubescence (tomentum), and by its purple capitula-type inflorescences, adapted to the humid climate of montane forests and alpine meadows.
- Anemia tomentosa — A species of perennial fern in the family Anemiaceae, native to the dry tropical and subtropical regions of South America and parts of the West Indies. This plant is structurally characterized by a dense indumentum of long, reddish or brown hairs (tomentum) covering the rhizome and fronds, acting as an effective protective barrier against dehydration in its rocky, arid habitats.
- Arctotis stoechadifolia — A species of perennial, often trailing or bushy plant in the genus Arctotis, family Asteraceae, native to the coastal sand dunes of South Africa. The plant features long, decumbent stems forming dense ground covers, elongated, toothed, and heavily tomentose leaves of a silvery-grey hue, and inflorescences whose ray florets can vary colorfully from cream and pale yellow to bronze shades, playing a vital ecological role in stabilizing eroded coastal dunes.
