©Anne Hoggett: Terminalia muelleri at Lizard Island Research Station on 28 Oct 2017, just before old leaves were shed progressively, from the bottom up. At the same time, all Terminalia arenicola trees in the area were bare, having lost their leaves in the previous week or so. Some twigs of a bare Terminalia arenicola can be seen at top right.
