All I can tell you is that I use a microscope & a 10x jewelers loupe to look at it for a painting. The cell structure over the entire leaf seems to be simularly arrainged but, the sparkle in the viens is distinct. Could it be a concentration of minerals? or an orientation of cells to the light? I would really like to know the "science" of this species AND the hybrid Hoosier did of Goodyeara pubescens (Indiana, USA) & a S.E Asian Dosinnea I am also trying to paint. The sparkle effect in the venation is amazing & any help in capturing the effect would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Kathy in MN
