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 ]
Dianthus (/ d aɪ ˈ æ n θ ə s / dy-AN-thəs) [1] is a genus of about 340 species of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllaceae, native mainly to Europe and Asia, with a few species in north Africa and in southern Africa, and one species (D. repens) in arctic North America.
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.
Dianthus pavonius is a hemicryptophyte scapose plant [2] [3] reaching 2–25 centimetres (0.79–9.84 in) in height. [ 4 ] [ 3 ] This short-stemmed carnation occurs in dense clumps. It has bluish-greenish pointed leaves and purple-pink coloured flowers, with a blue or brown heart.
The leaves are green to greyish green, slender, 3–5 cm long and 2–4 mm broad. The flowers are white, pink, or red, 3–4 cm diameter, produced singly or in small clusters from spring to mid summer. [2] Several branched stems form a loose eyrie. The basal leaves are usually already withered during flowering, the leaves remain on the stem.
Dianthus superbus is a popular garden plant and several cultivars and hybrids have been selected, with flower colour varying from white to red or purple, usually with a green centre. It thrives in ordinary to dry soil in full sun; partial shade is preferred in hot climates.
Dianthus armeria is a species of open and periodically disturbed sites. It is normally an annual but can be biennial or a short-lived perennial. New leaf rosettes form at the base of old plants from buds located on their roots, demonstrating that this species is in fact a short-lived perennial and has a life-span of less than two and a half years.

Dianthus basuticus is a densely tufted perennial reaching 15–20 cm, with linear (50mm x 5mm) blue-grey leaves, densely clumped near to the ground. The inflorescence is usually branched, and rises c. 15 cm above the main leaf tufts. [6] The flowers are usually dark pink, c. 20 mm wide, and appear in Summer-Autumn (Nov-Apr.). The petals are ...
