Can both Pieris and Lechenaultia plants have leaves?
Pieris (plant) Pieris ( or ) is a genus of seven species of shrubs in the family Ericaceae, native to mountain regions of eastern and southern Asia, eastern North America and Cuba. Known commonly in North America as andromedas or fetterbushes, they are broad-leaved evergreen shrubs growing to 1 - tall and 3 - wide. The leaves are spirally arranged, often appearing to be in whorls at the end of each shoot with bare stretches of shoot below; they are lanceolate-ovate, 2 - long and 1.0 - broad, leathery textured, and with an entire or serrated margin. The young leaves in spring are typically brightly coloured. The flowers are bell-shaped, 5 - long, white or pink, and arranged in racemes 5 - long. The fruit is a woody capsule which splits into five sections to release the numerous small seeds.
Foliicolous Foliicolous refers to the growth habit of certain lichens, algae, and fungi that prefer to grow on the leaves of vascular plants. There have been about 700 species of foliicolous lichens identified, most of which are found in the tropics.
