Answer 1

QUESTION NO-1 Answer: leaf arrangement is alternate EXPLANATION: The leaves are alternate, simple, entire and articulate in shape (almost circular). The distinctive leaves are slightly broader than long, mostly 3-10 inches long and 4-12 inches across and heart-shaped at the base. The short petioles are 1/2 to 1.0 inches long and maroon colored. Leaf veins are prominent. Trees are semi- evergreen at that time. Old leaves dry out and look scorched before falling. New emerging leaves are reddish and become green and thick at maturity. Throughout the year, leaf drop is constant and fallen leaves take a long time to decay.
