Those are bud scales. In the buckeye, for example, one may see a complete gradation from the small brown outer scale through larger scales which on unfolding become somewhat green to the inner scales of the bud, which are remarkably leaf-like.....scales of the buds are in truth leaves, modified to protect the more delicate parts of the bud during its formative periods to help it open into full bloom.
