I photographed these leaves in Romania, South-West, a few days ago.
A - Acer platanoides,
B and C - Quercus rubra
D - Acer pseudoplatanus
E - not sure, but might be Robinia, or Albizia jullibrisin
ABCD looks from maple and Morus species and E some leguminous species
A - Acer platanoides,
B and C - Quercus rubra
D - Acer pseudoplatanus
E - not sure, but might be Robinia, or Albizia jullibrisin
Leaf A seems that of Acer platanoides (Sapindaceae)
Leaf E seems of Fabaceae/Euphorbiaceae plant
@Manmohan J.R. Dobriyal , @ Lukas Petrulaitis, @ Arvind Singh, thank you a lot for the name of that trees. I have put another question because I have another trees without name.
Lukas did a good and quick job. I agree with one exception: (A) is not Acer platanoides but Platanus acerifolia. Leaf shepe is quite similar in both, but in Acer the main veins are disposed digitately as contrasted to pedately in Platanus.
(E) is certainly a mimosoid and not Robinia. Albizia julibrissin is a good guess.
I agree with Lukas and Werner but I think first one could be Platanus hybrida common roadside plant in Europe. Second and third Quercus for sure, the species unclear to me. Are they from the same individual? Last one is not Robinia, as Werner said mimosoid but if you dont show better picture is difficult to distinguish genus and specie
Julián: the planted plane tree of our alleys is all a single species (or hybrid), but its correct name is in dispute. Platanus hybrida Brot. and P. acerifolia (Aiton) Willd. both date from 1805. Mostly P. acerifolia is now preferred, but priority is unsettled. Anyway there may be a still older name to beat them both, Platanus hybrida Mill. ex Muenchh.
Make your pick.
@Karla María Hinojosa De la Garza thank you for the photo, it is very useful for me.
@Werner Greuter, @Julián Cuevas thank you for clarification.
I agree mostly with Lucas, but A for sure is Acer (see the wide base of the petiole). For the correct epithet see Werner's answer....
E : Albizia seems most likely, but difficult to tell on such a photo.
@ Jan J. Wieringa, photo E is like the attached photo below.
I could not do photo flower because they were not. Instead, I took a leaf as a sample. That is the explanation for that leaf is a little strange. It was dried and I barely have managed to make a good photo.
If it flowers like that photo it should be Albizia julibrissin Durazz. (mind the spelling! Single l, double s). Widely cultivated in Europe.
Same opinion about C- Quercus rubra and C- Acer pseudoplatanus; but A could be Acer platanoides or merely Platanus, difficult to say on photo without induments under the leave and bork.
Sorry, I made a mistake in my first answer: A for sure is Platanus (not Acer). Very broad petiole base is typical (since it harbours the axillary bud in the petiole base).
@Jan J. Wieringa, @Pascal Kissling thank you for answers and comments.
A-Platanus orientalis, see the last rib that is joined to previous rib characteristic of Platanus sp.
B-Quercus ruber
C-Quercus ruber
D-Acer pseudoplatanus, see the rib that joins the petiole at the end of the sheet, the Acer characteristic.
E- It seems to Delonix regia, but could be a Albizia or Tipuana. If is the tree on photo it should be Albizia sp.
with regards
