Sensory Imagery
Explanation:
Sensory imagery is a writer's use of words that connect to a reader's sense of sight, touch, taste, smell, or hearing to develop a mood, idea, character, or theme. This example implements several types of sensory imagery. The word "damp" is primarily touch, and "peppery scent" refers to one's sense of smell. And then of course there's the mental image (sense of sight) that is created in the reader's mind at the thought of leaves.
