foliages

Plants' collective leaves

Foliages is the plural of foliage, referring to distinct masses or types of leaves and leafy growth.

While foliage is typically uncountable—you wouldn't say three foliages—the plural appears in technical or artistic contexts distinguishing varieties: The painting captured the contrasting foliages of oak and maple.

It remains uncommon in everyday speech.
