Found in the sand in a lake.
The white rings of fuzz. The deep green photos show the fuzz in relation to the leaves. Fuzz appears as small white dots. The Brighter, yellower photos are the same leaf, carried home and viewed under LED light. The white fuzz disappeared. I don't know if it fell off, or if the leaf drying for 2 hours was enough to change its appearance. I'm including those pictures anyway I'm case there's something important I missed.
