Similarly, a quintuplinerve (five-veined) leaf has four secondary veins and a main vein. A pattern with 3–7 veins is especially conspicuous in Melastomataceae. The term has also been used in Vaccinieae. The term has been used as synonymous with acrodromous, palmate-acrodromous or suprabasal acrodromous, and is thought to be too broadly defined.
A round leaf where the petiole attaches near the center, e.g. a lotus leaf perfoliate: perfoliatus: stem attachment: With the leaf blade surrounding the stem such that the stem appears to pass through the leaf perforate: perforatus: leaf surface features Many holes, or perforations, on leaf surface. Compare with fenestrate. pinnately lobed ...
Acrodromous – the veins run parallel to the leaf edge and fuse at the leaf tip. Actinodromous – the main veins of a leaf radiate from the tip of the petiole. Brochidodromous – the veins turn away from the leaf edge to join the next higher vein. Campylodromous – secondary veins diverge at the base of the lamina and rejoin at the tip ...
A primary vein, also known as the midrib, is the main vascular structure running through the center of a leaf. [1] The primary vein is crucial for the leaf’s efficiency in photosynthesis and overall health, as it ensures the proper flow of materials and structural integrity.
Prefix that indicates a radial pattern, form, or morphology. actinodromous (of leaf venation) Palmate or radially arranged venation with three or more primary vein s arising at or near the base of the leaf and reaching the margin in most species, but not all. actinomorphic
Aphids and leaf hoppers feed off of these sugars by tapping into the phloem. This is why aphids and leaf hoppers are typically found on the underside of a leaf rather than on the top. The position of vascular bundles relative to each other may vary considerably: see stele. The vascular bundle are depend on size of veins
In plant anatomy and evolution a microphyll (or lycophyll) is a type of plant leaf with one single, unbranched leaf vein. [1] Plants with microphyll leaves occur early in the fossil record, and few such plants exist today. In the classical concept of a microphyll, the leaf vein emerges from the protostele without leaving a leaf gap. Leaf gaps ...
