fuzzy leaf
This is a plant I'd never seen before. The leaves are very thick and fuzzy with reticulate venation which makes the plant a dicot.
The white fuzz not only looks like snow, it also increases the boundary layer of every leaf allowing it to retain more moisture within.
Each leaf is quite thick and leathery leading me to believe that it may have a double palisade cell layer. The cuticle may also be thick, though the leaf didn't feel waxy.
