This study examined micromorphological traits on the abaxial surface of leaves using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to compare pedunculate oak and greyish oak taxa close-up. We selected a pedunculate oak population in Hungary and greyish oak population in Romania. The study randomly selected trees over 100 years old from these populations to investigate the differences between the two taxa based on leaf micromorphological characteristics. We focused mainly on indumentum because observing t
