Magnoliaceae

 9-Stipule

[FMP-field: image]
In this photo, the winter bud has opened up much more, and the stipule that formed the winter bud has fallen off. The white structures are stipules found at the base of each leaf; soon these will fall off as well. This is the umbrella magnolia (Magnolia tripetala).
