My blip on the peduncle vs. petiole matter. I should know better. Thanks to
Christian for pointing it out.
Thanks to Neil for saving me somewhat by indicating that the peduncle also
has these "hairs" although to a lesser degree than the petioles.
Will no one hazard a guess as to the evolutionary raison d'etre for these
appendages?
