Plant Printouts |
|
axil - the angle between the upper side of the stem and a leaf or petiole. lamina - the blade of a leaf. leaf apex - the outer end of a leaf; the end that is opposite the petiole. midrib - the central rib of a leaf - it is usually continuous with the petiole. |
petiole - a leaf stalk; it attaches the leaf to the plant. stem - (also called the axis) the main support of the plant. stipule - the small, paired appendages (sometimes leaf-life) that are found at the base of the petiole of leaves of many flowering plants. vein - one of the many vascular structures on a leaf. Veins provide supports for the leaf and transport both water and food through the leaf. |
