Acute – with a sharp, rather abrupt ending-point. Acutifolius – with acute leaves. Attenuate – tapering gradually to a narrow end. Leaf Blade Margins:
This is an incomplete list of plants with trifoliate leaves. Trifoliate leaves (also known as trifoliolate or ternate leaves) are a leaf shape characterized by a leaf divided into three leaflets. Species which are known to be trifoliate are listed here.
The young foliage is light green and slightly wavy, the older leaves are green and smooth; the leaf blade is ovate to ovate-lanceolate with wedge-shaped to broadly rounded base and ends with a short dropper tip. The pale glossy to dull leaf blade is 5 to 12 cm (2 to 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches) cm long and 2 to 6 cm (1 to 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches) wide. Near ...
The plant morphologist goes further, and discovers that the spines of cactus also share the same basic structure and development as leaves in other plants, and therefore cactus spines are homologous to leaves as well. This aspect of plant morphology overlaps with the study of plant evolution and paleobotany.
