Leaf surface
Irregular lumps
Verrucose texture

“Rugose surfaces can be: scaly and flaky with fragile projections and coatings; warty and bumpy with small rounded projections; point-covered with small pointed projections; or, wrinkled with undulations of repeating ridges and valleys.” – Kim D. Coder
