Study Notes
Leaf Structure
- Leaves are generally expanded and flattened green structures growing out at the nodes of the stem and are the main organ for photosynthesis.
- Leaves consist of two main parts: the petiole (leaf stalk) and the lamina (leaf blade).
Petiole (Leaf Stalk)
- A cylindrical or flattened structure that supports and holds the leaf upright.
- Conducts materials to and from the leaves.
- May have two small, leaf-like outgrowths at its base called stipules.
- Leaves without petiole are called sessile leaves.
Lamina (Leaf Blade)
- Thin, flattened, usually green expanded part of the leaf.
- Variable external features include:
- Shape: linear, cordate, ovate, deltoid, reniform, orbicular, flabellate, or cuneate.
- Apex: pointed, rounded, emarginate, caudate, or flattened.
- Margin: varies depending on the type of leaf.
- Base: varies depending on the type of leaf.
Examples of Leaf Shapes
- Linear: Grass, Talahib
- Cordate: Anthurium, Gabi
- Ovate: Eucalyptus, Rose
- Deltoid: Cotton Wood, Louisiana
- Reniform: Pink pyrola
- Orbicular: Kastuli
- Flabellate: Ginkgo biloba
- Cuneate: varies depending on the type of leaf
