frondescence \fron-DES-uhns\, noun:
1. Leafage; foliage.

forty-five-acre pond, completely undeveloped, covered with exquisite
wildflowers and frondescence.
– Paul Newman, In Pursuit of the Common Good
I now become aware of the sound of rumbling water, emanating from
somewhere inside the rain forest next to my tropical rest stop. I
approach the wet and abundant frondescence of the forest.
