Håyun Lågu Leaves
Twice Pinnate
The Håyun Lågu tree leaves are called a twice pinnate leaf. This means they have a midrib that runs through the middle of the leaf and then many small leaflets on both sides of the midrib. They can have between 20-22 pairs of leaflets. The leaves are dark green in color and glossy, or shiny, in appearance.
