• Type: categorical
• Definition: A leaf pubescence trait [TO:0002722] which is the presence or absence of trichomes [PO:0006504] (hairs) on the leaf lamina [PO:0020039] of a fully expanded adult phase leaf [PO:0006340].;Variable describing whether mature (fully expanded) adult phase leaves on adult plants have hairs (trichomes).
• Additional comments: This trait captures the presence or absence of hairs on mature (fully expanded), adult phase leaves on adult plants. Best practice is to sample leaves that are recently fully expanded, since older leaves have often shed many of their hairs. The accompanying methods should specify if the trait was scored on the upper (adaxial) or lower (abaxial) surface of the leaf; in the absence of any notes, it is assumed the trait was scored on the upper (adaxial) leaf surface.
• Allowed values:
