−'''Deciduous''' means "temporary" or "tending to fall off" (deriving from the [[Latin]] word ''decidere'', to fall off) and is typically used in reference to trees or shrubs that lose their leaves seasonally. +
−Such broad-leaf trees & shrubs include [[Maple]], [[Oak]], [[Elm]], [[Aspen]], and [[Birch]], among others. Periods of leaf fall often coincide with seasons: winter in the case of cool-climate plants or the dry-season in the case of tropical plants.<ref> Cundall, Peter.
