    Study Notes

    Leaf Anatomy

    • A typical leaf consists of three main parts: blade, petiole, and stipules
    • The petiole is the stalk that attaches the leaf to the stem, allowing for flexibility and movement

    Leaf Venation

    • Most monocotyledons have parallel venation, where veins run parallel to each other

    Leaf Bases

    • In some leguminous plants, the swollen leaf base is called a pulvinus

    Leaf Support and Transport

    • The vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) provide rigidity to the leaf blade and act as channels for the transport of water, minerals, and food materials
