Platanus occidentalis (Sycamore): Leaves
		The palmately-lobed leaves (3 to 5 lobes) are simple, alternate and large (4 to 7 inches long), with coarsely-toothed margins. Leaves are very hairy when young, becoming smooth and bright green above and paler and smooth beneath, with a few hairs along the veins. In spring, at the base of each leaf stalk, a prominent stipule encircles the twig. Fall color is disappointing, with leaves turning a dull yellow, browning before they fall.
