| Hi all, Any idea what plant this leaf belongs to? It has a milky sap and came from a young tree/shrub about 4ft tall. The mature leaves are more characteristically lobed.  |

| Welcome to the forums swicked. To id a tree/shrub from a single leaf is hard and may lead to inaccurate id. Please can you add extra pics to this thread to show the whole plant, a branch to show if leaves are opposite or alternate. A pic to show the mature lobed leaves. Any other clues...flower/fallen seed pods under the plant? |

| It could be Triadica sebifera (Sapium sebiferum) He who plants a garden plants happiness. |

| It could be Chinese Tallow Tree (Triadica sebifera) and it is apparently found in Australia: https://keyserver.lucidcentral... but it could be so many other things as well. I agree, more photos needed to suggest an exact ID. ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| I don't think T. sabifera leaves develop lobes. They are all a single shape. 👀😁😂 - SMILE! -☺😎☻☮👌✌∞☯🐣🐦🐔🐝🍯🐾 The less I interfere, the more balance mother nature provides. 👒🎄👣🏡🍃🍂🌾🌿🍁❦❧ 🍃🍁🍂🌾🌻🌸🌼🌹🌽❀☀🌺 ☕👓 The only way to succeed is to try. |

greene said:Sure looks a lot like Poinsettia. It does resemble a Euphorbia leaf.How about P. heterophylla which is found in Australia? https://keyserver.lucidcentral... ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |
