• excuuent
• deliqusent
• palmlike
• yccan-type

• a central dominate truck and symmetrical croncal or spirelike crown of many conifers and some hardwoods
• Examples:
• Pinus Palustris
• P. Taeda
• Juniperus virginiana

• with reeatedly forked stems giving rise to a spreading form such as in oak male and most hard woods
• example:
• Quercus virginia
• Q. Nigra
• Ulmus americana

• with a basal rosette of long stiff leavs and central tall flowering stalk or irregularly branched thick trunk as in the tree like yccas
• example:
• Yucca sp.

• an ungranched trunk and leaves on in the top rosette in plams and mosy cycads
• Sabal Minor = example

• lateral appendages on stem
• usual serve as the primar photosynthetic surface on the plant

bearig green foliage all year round

the loss of leaves during unfav. conditions

expanded portion of a leaf

stalk of leaf

pair of appendages located at the base

leaf with a single blade it is not divided into leaflets there is always a flange of blade tissue connecting adjacent lobes

• a leaf with more than one blade per petiole
• it is made up of tow or more leaflets and these leaflets are wholly speerate

the stalk of a leaflet

on the segments of compound leaf

the axis of a pinnately compound leaf

• a leaf in whcih there are more than 3 leaflet arranged in 2 row along  common axis
• the leaflets are attahed like the vanes of a feather

the primary divison of a pinnateley compound leaf

leaf divided twice

where the leafes arise form a common point of attachment NO RACHIS

a compound leaf with 3 leaflets

3 seperate leaves arising form the same node

attching by a petiole

lacking petiole

very short petiole

leaf base wraps around the stem

buckthorn, sweet leaf

leavs attached to rhizome or other underground stem

leaves attached to above ground stem

one leaf per node

2 leaves per node

consistinf of central midvane with many secondary veins emerging on both sides to form a feather liek patteren

all primar arrise at the same point at the base of the leaf

veins lie more or less strait to leaf margins

it some with intermdiat b/w pinnate and palmate with which the lower pair of veins arasiing at the mid rib is light larger than the other secondaires with large tertary veins going lower margins.
