leaf blade plus petiole ( q.v.)

The lateral organ of a grass culm, typically consisting of a sheath, blade, ligule, and auricles.

any of the flat thin expanded organs, usually green, growing laterally from the stem or twig of a plant: it usually consists of a broad blade, a petiole, or stalk, and stipules and is involved in the processes of photosynthesis and transpiration

The foliage appendages of the stem, though not always serving as foliage; sometimes metamorphosed into a spine (barberry), or tendril (clematis), or reduced to a scale (juniper). Leaves originate at and mark the node or joints of the stem. Buds normally occur in the angles or axils above leaves and are correspondingly alternate, opposite or whorled on the stem.

green part of a plant that collects light and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis

a flattened, usually photosynthetic structure arranged in various ways on a stem.

A flat, thin, (commonly) green appendage of a plant stem. The main portion of a tree or other higher plant where photosynthesis occurs.

The flat green structure produced by many plants as their primary surface area for photosynthesis. Leaves come in many sizes, shapes, colours and textures but essentially they all do the same job; increase the surface area of the plant and so increase the amount of sunlight that can be caught and turned into food. Pretty much all non-stem features of plants are made from modified leaves; flower petals, sepals, the sticky scales that cover some buds, bulbs, spines on cactus and so on.

the part of the plant that contains chlorophyll and makes food for the plant during photosynthesis

1) The major component of the tobacco plant; its size, shape, and position on the stalk are indicators of quality. 2) On a flue-cured tobacco plant, the second grouping of leaves from the top. 3) In fire-cured and dark air-cured tobacco, a general term for all of the leaves located in the top third of the tobacco plant.

Small, flat, green part of a plant. Leaves are important because they use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide (a waste gas) into oxygen (the gas all animals need to breathe).

The flat, thin organ of the plant which contains the most chlorophyll, which allows the plant to photosynthesis and is therefore the main energy sourcing organ of the plant.

n. (ME. leef fr. OE. leaf, akin to OHG. loub, leaf, foliage) a lateral outgrowth from a stem that constitutes part of the foliage of a plant and functions primarily in food manufacture by photosynthesis.

Leaves are given as awards for excellence.

A flat, thin outgrowth of a stem that is usually green in color.   It serves as the principal area for the manufacture of food for the plant (photosynthesis).

Outgrowth from the stem may consist of two parts, the stalk or petiole (when present) and the blade or leaf proper, which may be single (simple leaf) or divided into leaflets (compound leaf).

The thin, flat green part of a plant that grows on a stem.

A vegetative organ which, when complete, consists of a flat blade, a petiole or stalk, and ( usually two) small leafy appendages at the base of the petiole.

A plant organ whose function in general is to conduct photosynthesis. Usually composed of a stalk (petiole) and a broad portion (blade). In general, a leaf has a bud at its base. Compare "leaflet".

The part of a plant which extends from the petioles. On African Violets, they are either some shade of green or variegated, and most have at least some plant hairs growing from them. Collectively, the leaves are called foliage. The function of leaves is to provide photosynthesis, transpiration and respiration for the plant. The flat, thin, blade-like part of a leaf is called the leaf blade or lamina. The central vein of a leaf is called the midrib. The edge of a leaf is called the leaf margin. The green pigment of a leaf is called chlorophyll, which is contained in the chloroplasts of leaf cells. Also see Leaf Type.

axils: Definition from Dictionary.com: "The upper angle between a lateral organ, su ch as a leafstalk, and the stem that bears it."

an outgrowth of a plant that grows from a node in the stem. Most leaves are flat and contain chloroplasts; their main function is to convert energy from sunlight into chemical energy (food) through photosynthesis.

An organ found in most vascular plants; it consists of a flat lamina (blade) and a petiole (stalk). Many flowering plants have additionally a pair of small stipules near the base of the petiole.

Generic term for the sum of the grass blade, ligule and auricle (where present).

A leaf is an outgrowth of a plant that grows from a node in the stem. Most leaves are flat and contain chloroplasts; their main function is to make food energy through photosynthesis. The first leaf to grow from a seed is called the cotyledon.

In botany, a leaf is an above-ground plant organ specialized for photosynthesis. For this purpose, a leaf is typically flat (laminar) and thin, to expose the cells containing chloroplast (chlorenchyma tissue, a type of parenchyma) to light over a broad area, and to allow light to penetrate fully into the tissues. Leaves are also the sites in most plants where respiration, transpiration, and guttation take place.
