Niederblatt
Sign in to savethumb|The stems of Athrotaxis are covered with small flat pointed leaves called "scale leaves" or "cataphylls". In plant morphology, a cataphyll (sometimes also called a cataphyllum or cataphyll leaf) is a reduced, small leaf. Many plants have both "true leaves" (euphylls), which perform most of the photosynthesis, and cataphylls, which are modified to perform other functions.
