Adelia Barbinervis
''Adelia barbinervis'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Euphorbiaceae that is native to southern Mexico and northern Central America. The Huastec Maya cultivated the plant as a famine food. Description ''Adelia barbinervis'' is a shrub, or as a tree that grows to be 2–9 meters tall. The bark is spinescent, thin, and gray to whitish. The leaves grow with an alternate (spiral) pattern. The upper side is dark green and hairless while the underside is paler and pubescent (covered with short, soft hairs) along the veins. Rarely, the underside of the leaf is tomentose, i.e. densely covered in short, matted hairs. The leaves have 5–7 lateral veins. The axils of the veins have tufts of hair called domatia. The leaves are lanceolate (pointy at both ends) with a length of 4–9cm and a width of 2–3.5cm. The margins are entire. The leaves are connected to their twig by a 2–5mm petiole, which is pubescent. The inconspicuous stipules at the base of the petiole are pube ...
