Broad-leaved tree

Broadleaf refers to trees or other plants which have broad leaves. Specifically, it means not grasses (not Poaceae). A broadleaf plant is a member of the Magnoliopsida, better known as the dicots.

It is an angiosperm, meaning it has flat leaves and produces seeds inside fruits.Hutchinson, John (1973). The families of flowering plants, arranged according to a new system based on their probable phylogeny. 2 vols (3rd ed.). Oxford: Oxford University Press. ISBN 9783874291606
