You need to give a better description about the plant in general but... it sounds like you have Amelanchier Lamarkii (a popular ornamental).

Hello friend.. \nHope you have heard of chlorophyll and other colouring (pigments) agents naturally present in plant leaves.Chlorophyll is the chief chemical helping reactions that finally end up in production of starchy food in plants. \nThese chlorophylls themselves break down and  are being continually used up in the food-manufacturing process. \nBut while the plant grows the plant resynthesizes this pigment and  leaves seem green.\nBy the end of  summer, cells called cork cells, which are degenerate products, get accumulated in the base of the leaf-stump. This results in blockage of water transport to leaves through their "veins".  Chlorophyll from then on degenerates and breaks down. \n    In the fall (autumn as we call it here), seasonal changes slow down the rate of  chlorophyll-synthesis.\nCarotenoids which are another group of pigments present in leaves become clearly visible through these leaves devoid of Chlorophyll. Light is not needed in order for a plant to produce carotenoids, therefore these pigments are always present in a living plant. Aspen, Black Cherry, Sycamore,  Maple and  Poplar are some of the trees famous for their pictureque beauty in Autumn. Carotenoids appear in colours ranging from Brown or red to yellow depending on its concentration in these leaves.  Examples of carotenoids found in leaves include lycopene, which is red, and xanthophyll, which is yellow.  When found naturally, carotenoids give colour to carrots, beetroot, and a number of plant and animal produces like mango, banana egg yolks etc.\nBesides these natural Carotenoids, there are a group of pigments called Flavanoids that appear in the leaves only during autumn. Examples of flavonoids include flavone and flavol, which are yellow, and the anthocyanins, which may be red, blue, or purple, depending on pH (strawberry, apple,  cherry etc..)Anthocyanins are the chief agents among these flavanoids. They are a result of degeneration of sugar moieties in leaves. In autumn, as a plan to prevent losing precious minerals, ions and vitamin-enzymes through falling leaves, these chemicals are transported into the trunk/stem of the plant. But Carbohydrates, being complex molecules aren't transpoted to the main stem/trunk. The transport of ions back into stem causes a  fall in the phosphate concentration in the leaves,which in turn triggers production of Anthocyanins. This process is dependent on physical influences like soil-acidity and brightness of Sun light. Brighter, the days, brighter the colour of autumn leaves and vice versa.\nLeaves containing primarily anthocyanins will appear red. Leaves with good amounts of both anthocyanins and carotenoids will appear orange. Leaves with carotenoids but little or no anthocyanins will appear yellow. In the absence of these pigments, other plant chemicals also can affect leaf color. An example includes tannins, which are responsible for the brownish color of some Oak leaves. \nHope that clears your doubt.\nbye..

I'm thinking it might be Buddleia - the leaves are greyish green and lanceolate, sort of like scaled-up Rosemary.  The flowers are often strongly fragrant - on Buddleia Davidii, they smell strongly of honey.

Elodea leaves are composed of CELLS......that is where the nucleus would be!

It is a nut from the Buckeye Tree.  They are dark brown on the outside with a small light brown circle.  When on the tree they have a spikey husk.  They are poisonous to eat.

Red, because it is a live color. Outgoing!

A  Epidermis \n\nThe blade consists of an upper and lower epidermis and a spongy layer of tissue, called the mesophyll. Running through the mesophyll is a branching system of veins.\n\nThe epidermis is the leaf blade's skin. It is a thin, usually transparent, colorless layer of cells that covers both the upper and lower surfaces of the blade. The epidermis prevents the leaf from losing excessive amounts of water and protects it against injury.\n\nIn most plants the epidermis is covered with cutin, a waxy substance secreted by the epidermal cells. The layer of cutin, called the cuticle, is responsible for the glossy appearance of some leaves. The cuticle gives the leaf additional protection by slowing down the rate at which water is lost. Generally, the cuticle is thinner on the epidermis on the underside of the leaf than on the upper epidermis, which is exposed to the sun.\n\nIn many kinds of leaves, hairs grow from the epidermis. The soft hairs of plants such as the mullein give the leaves a woolly or feltlike texture. In some plants the epidermal hairs secrete fluids. For example, in geraniums and petunias the hairs secrete a fluid that gives the leaves a clammy texture. The strong-smelling oils of the peppermint and spearmint plants come from epidermal hairs. In other plants, such as the nettle, the epidermal hairs are stiff and contain a poisonous fluid that produces a skin irritation when a person is pricked by them.\n\nB  Guard Cells \n\nScattered throughout the epidermis are pairs of bean-shaped cells, called guard cells. Guard cells contain chloroplasts, which are tiny granules filled with the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll gives leaves their characteristic green color. Chloroplasts enable leaves to carry on photosynthesis because they are able to absorb carbon dioxide and sunlight, which are required for the food-making process. In response to heat and light, each pair of guard cells pulls apart, and a tiny pore forms between them. The pores, called stomata, open to the outside atmosphere.\n\nWhen the stomata are open, carbon dioxide and oxygen pass either in or out—when carbon dioxide enters, it takes part in photosynthesis, the food-making process that releases oxygen as a waste product. This oxygen passes out of the leaf. At the same time, oxygen also enters the leaf, where it takes part in respiration, a process that forms carbon dioxide as a waste product. This carbon dioxide passes out through the stomata. Water also passes out of the open stomata in the form of a vapor. This process is called transpiration. Generally, there are more stomata on the under surface of a leaf than on the upper surface. This prevents water from evaporating too quickly or in excessive amounts from the leaf's upper side, which is exposed to the sun. Stomata close at night, providing another level of water conservation.\n\nC  Water Pores \n\nIn addition to the stomata, many kinds of leaves have large specialized water pores in their epidermis. These pores, called hydathodes, permit guttation, the process by which a plant loses liquid water. Unlike the stomata, hydathodes remain open all the time.\n\nGuttation takes place only when water is being rapidly absorbed by the roots, such as after a heavy rainfall, and when transpiration slows down, as on cool, humid nights. When these conditions occur together, droplets of water can be seen on the leaf early in the morning before they evaporate in the heat of the day. Unlike dew, which condenses on leaves from water vapor in the air and covers the entire leaf surface, guttation droplets form only on the edges and tips of leaves. Generally, the droplets are noticeable only on the leaves of strawberries and a few other kinds of plants.\n\nD  Mesophyll \n\nThe mesophyll, sandwiched between the upper and lower epidermis, consists of many thin-walled cells that are usually arranged in two layers. The palisade layer is next to the upper epidermis. It consists of cylindrical cells t

You don't mention where it was found so that makes ID difficult; sounds like a Scolopendra. Look through these pics to see if you find a match. Some are poisonous; some are not.\n\nhttp://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=+%22scolopendra%22+centipede&btnG=Search
