    I see you are getting a good number of viewers, but no answers.

    I am not good enough at plant ID to identify those plants for you. Somehow, I need additionally cues of colour, sheen, texture, etc, which pressed specimens don't provide. It might help, though, if you give us more information - e.g., the location the leaves were collected, what kind of plants they were collected from (herbaceous? shrubby? Trees? etc.), and the size of those leaves. Without more information, I do have difficulty and am stumped. For example, the leaf #3, top roll, could well be from a papaya.

    first of all,i would like to extend my gratitude to your reply. all these leaves are pressed against a A4 sized paper.leaf #1 is from a tree,#2 leaf also from a tree,#4 a shrub,#5 a herbacous plant. as for colour,the colors remained similar to the original plant.texture,sorry to say,i do not know how to describe it.#1 and #2 is from a rainforest while #4 and #5 is from the local park.

    #1 looks like a Mango. If you hadn't followed-up to say it was from a tree, I was going to say Doryopteris Padata, which is a fern...
