Chart illustrating leaf morphology terms. The following terms are used to describe leaf morphology in the description and taxonomy of plants. Leaves may be simple (that is, the leaf blade or 'lamina' is undivided) or compound (that is, the leaf blade is divided into two or more leaflets). [1]
A tree structure, tree diagram, or tree model is a way of representing the hierarchical nature of a structure in a graphical form. It is named a "tree structure" because the classic representation resembles a tree , although the chart is generally upside down compared to a biological tree, with the "stem" at the top and the "leaves" at the bottom.
Chart illustrating 61 morphological terms describing leaf shape, margins and venation. While Diliff's mega-panoramas are a hard act to follow, I thought I would throw the metaphorical hat into the ring with this illustration. I created it with the desire to make a richly encyclopedic image/poster with lots of information about leaf morphology.
[1] [2] In its broadest sense, a tree is any plant with the general form of an elongated stem, or trunk, which supports the photosynthetic leaves or branches at some distance above the ground. [3] Trees are also typically defined by height, [ 4 ] with smaller plants from 0.5 to 10 m (1.6 to 32.8 ft) being called shrubs , [ 5 ] so the minimum ...
English: This diagram show a specific parts of a leaf that is on a stem. The parts included are: 1. Apex 2. Midvein (Primary vein) 3. Secondary vein. 4. Lamina. 5. Leaf margin 6. Petiole 7. Bud 8. Stem
180° (or 1 ⁄ 2): two leaves in one circle (alternate leaves) 120° (or 1 ⁄ 3): three leaves in one circle; 144° (or 2 ⁄ 5): five leaves in two gyres; 135° (or 3 ⁄ 8): eight leaves in three gyres. Most divergence angles are related to the sequence of Fibonacci numbers F n. This sequence begins 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13; each term is the ...

English: The medium scale structure of a leaf featuring the major tissues; the upper and lower epithelia (and associated cuticles), the palisade and spongy mesophyll and the guard cells of the stoma. Vascular tissue (veins), made up of xylem, phloem and sheath cells, and example trichromes are also shown.
