Specimens for Ehretia acuminata. Although it’s probably more like a couple of kilometres away. 😊

One of the specimens in ALA was just across the river from our property - almost a stone’s through away

Please may i explain some more – as that was a bit simplistic for the venation patterns, those secondary veins per se vary a lot in their most simplistic aspects such as mirroring or not mirroring .

Please look at _Ehretia acuminata_ seedlings' overall forms and at their tertiary venation patterns together with the secondary veins patterns as a whole pattern of venation,
in the way you look to complex (not simplistic) patterns such as if you need to visually match a picture of a person's fingerprint with a real person's fingerprint
(without asking the computer to match it).

Including that _Ehretia acuminata_ seedlings we know do have more pronounced, deeper serrations, have hairs on the leaves upper surfaces, and have partly varied venation patterns,
as this seedling shown here does,
than the leaves of _Ehretia acuminata_ mature trees do.

Actually some of the veins on mine don’t mirror. Kevin - what do you think?

Hi Jason - good to hear from you! I think the veins in the images on ALA for Ehretia acuminata don’t match my specimen. My veins mirror each other on both sides of the leaf - I’m sure there is terminology for that - whereas veins on Ehretia acuminata don’t seem to do that.
