Steve,

I run into terminology related to forestry and ecology that are not in the 
common lexicon, at least not in the chemistry and geology terms with which I am 
most familiar.  I found what this one meant...

    Lammas leaves or Lammas growth refers to a second crop of leaves produced 
in high summer by deciduous trees in temperate countries to replace those lost 
to insect damage. They often differ slightly in shape, texture and/or hairiness 
from the earlier leaves.

      Tupelos changing here in NE Ohio, due to drought.  Oaks still in lammas 
mode.

        Barry,

        There aren't any trees changing here yet, not even the black gums, but 
curiously a couple individual branches on some of my red maples are now bright 
red with fall colors.  Everything else is green.
