The difference between peacock wood and octagonal gold plate

1. Difference of blades

The leaves of the peacock wood are alternate, palmately compound, with 7-11 leaflets, linear-lanceolate, about 7-5 cm long, 1-1.5 cm wide, with serrated or pinnate edges. The color is purple-red when young, and will turn dark green later, with brown veins.

The leaves of the Oleander are wider than the former, leathery, nearly round, about 12-30 cm in diameter, and palmately 7-9 deeply fissured. The lobes are oblong-ovate, short and acuminate at the tip, heart-shaped at the base, with coarse serrations on the edges, dark green on the upper side, slightly lighter in color on the lower side, and sometimes golden yellow on the edges.

2. The difference between flowers

The peacock tree has a compound umbel inflorescence that grows in the leaf axils at the top of the stem, and the small flowers are yellow-green in color.

The inflorescence of the Oleander plant is a panicle that grows at the top, and the flowers are yellow-white in color.
