silverleaf

Thin decorative metal

Silverleaf describes plants with leaves that appear silvery, usually from fine hairs or a pale underside that catches light: silverleaf nightshade, silverleaf oak.

Silverleaf disease is a fungal infection affecting fruit trees, named for the silvery sheen it gives infected leaves.

The word also names ornamental plants grown for their metallic-looking foliage.
