silver-leaved

Other adaptations to look out for include hairy leaves, such as those of stachys (woolly lamb's ears), because they slow down the wind blowing across the leaf surface; and silver-leaved plants – many of them native to the Mediterranean – that reflect the heat of the sun: olives are a perfect example and are quite happy in a pot.

"Chinkie's Flat," In its decadence, was generally spoken of, by the passing traveller, as a "God-forsaken hole," and it certainly did present a repellent appearance when seen for the first time, gasping under the torrid rays of a North Queensland sun, which had dried up every green thing except the silver-leaved ironbarks, and the long, sinuous line of she-oaks which denoted the course of Connolly's Creek on which it stood.
