Description
Color enhanced scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Mt. Wellington Peppermint or Tasmanian Snow Gum (Eucalyptus coccifera), of the family Myrtaceae. This eucalyptus species dominates the dry forests of Australia. To protect itself from desiccation, extreme cold and frost, a layer of wax coats the surface of the leaves. These woodland evergreens secrete oils, and are used in herbal medicine. The picture shows the leaf underside coated with wax and leaf pores. Magnification 430x
