What is the name of a plant (branch?) with white, round, flat, disc-like leaves?
You got it from a craft store . It is a branch ( most probably polished ) !
what you found on them are round ( most probably semi round ) flat , disc and white in color .
What you have on your hand is a decorative piece of wood ( branch) with a Bracket fungus growing on it . It is a fungus related to Mushrooms and NOT a leaf of that branch .
These fungi grow on wood and draw nourishment from it .
It will remain as it is for a long time . No leaf can survive like that !!

Reply:You don't know what you're talking about maverick. This is the plant: http://www.ccfc.org/encycloped...
The leaves turn opaque and silver when dried. Sorry lilblondegal, didn't have time to post a link before. Nobody uses dried oyster mushrooms in floral arrangements. Report It
Reply:That sounds a lot like what I call "money plant" because the dried leaves (actually the seed pods) look like white coins. It is commonly dried and used in the florist and craft trade. When I was looking for a good image on the web, I found that it is also called honesty plant and moon wort. Its scientific name is Lunaria annua (translated: like the moon, lives one growing season).
Reply:It's a species of eucalyptus
