Leaf Structure http://www.ext.colostate.edu/mg/gardennotes/134.html

External Features Leaf blade – Flattened part of the leaf Petiole – Leaf stalk Stipules – Leaf-like appendages at the base of the leaf. For plant identification purposes, the shape of the leaf margin, leaf tip and leaf base are key features to note. Remember, a leaf begins at the lateral or auxiliary bud.

Leaf Arrangement on Stems Alternate – Arranged in staggered fashion along stem (willow) Opposite – Pair of leaves arranged across from each other on stem (maple) Whorled – Arranged in a ring (catalpa) Rosette – Spiral cluster of leaves arranged at the base (or crown) (dandelion)

Leaflet Arrangement on Petiole Simple – Leaf blade is one continuous unit (cherry, maple, and elm) Compound – Several leaflets arise from the same petiole Pinnately compound – Leaflets arranged on both sides of a common rachis (leaf stalk), like a feather (mountain ash) Palmately compound – Leaflets radiate from one central point (Ohio buckeye and horse chestnut) Double pinnately compound – Double set of compound leaflets

Leaf Shape Leaf shape is a primary tool in plant identification. Descriptions often go into minute detail about general leaf shape, and the shape of the leaf apex and base. Figure 5 illustrates common shapes as used in the Manual of Woody Landscape Plants.

Leaf Shapes, cont. Shape of the leaf apex (tip) and base is another tool in plant identification. Figures 6 and 7 illustrate common tip and base styles as used in the Manual of Woody Landscape Plants.

Leaf Margin The leaf margin is another tool in plant identification. Figure 8 illustrates common margin types as used in the Manual of Woody Landscape Plants.

Scientific Names Don’t forget binomial nomenclature for naming organisms. Binomial nomenclature is important so that everyone around the world will know which organism you mean when you use its scientific name. Also, because the name is its genus and species, it tells you something about its relationship to other organisms. Genus, species (capitalize genus, do not capitalize the species name)
