Fig. 1. Leaves of Garrya plants arranged in order of the density of the hairs, using an arbitrary scoring system from 0 (no hairs) to 10 (maximum density of hairs observed). The leaves are displayed at approximately the same scale, showing half the width of the leaf and approximately the same height as the width. Click on each pix to see a pix of the entire leaf.

I haven't yet found any pix of leaves I would score as 6 or 7. I haven't yet found any pix of leaves with scores of 3, 4 or 9 that I could display at the same scale as the others, but I have found pix at different scales with those scores; those pix are linked in the table.

I thank all the people at iNat who have posted observations of Garrya species there.
