truncate truncatus leaf tip or base With a squared-off end
undulate undulatus 3-d shape Wave-like
unifoliate unifoliatus compound leaves With a single leaflet. It is distinct from a simple leaf by the presence of two abcission layers and often by petiolules and stipels

Leaf margins (edges) are frequently used in visual plant identification because they are usually consistent within a species or group of species, and are an easy characteristic to observe. Edge and margin are interchangeable in the sense that they both refer to the outside perimeter of a leaf.

Image Term Latin adjective Description

Even; with a smooth margin; without toothing
ciliate ciliatus Fringed with hairs
crenate crenatus Wavy-toothed; dentate with rounded teeth
crenulate crenulate Finely crenate
crisped crispus curly
dentate dentatus Toothed. May be coarsely dentate, having large teeth, or glandular dentate, having teeth which bear glands
denticulate denticulatus Finely toothed
doubly serrate duplicato-dentatus Each tooth bearing smaller teeth
serrate serratus Saw-toothed; with asymmetrical teeth pointing forward
serrulate serrulatus Finely serrate

lobate lobatus Indented, with the indentations not reaching the center
lobulate lobulatus With small lobes
undulate undulatus With a wavy edge, shallower than sinuate

Leaves may also be folded or rolled in various ways. The folding of leaves within a bud is vernation, ptyxis is the folding of an individual leaf in a bud.

Image Term Latin Description
carinate or keeled carinatus with a longitudinal ridge
conduplicate folded upwards, with the surfaces close to parallel
cucullate forming a hood, margins and tip curved downward
involute rolled upwards (towards the adaxial surface)
plicate plicatus with parallel folds
reduplicate folded downwards, with the surfaces close to parallel
revolute rolled downwards (towards the abaxial surface)
supervolute opposing left and right halves of lamina folded along longitudinal axis, with one half rolled completely within the other

The Latin word for 'leaf', folium, is neuter. In descriptions of a single leaf, the neuter singular ending of the adjective is used, e.g. folium lanceolatum 'lanceolate leaf', folium lineare 'linear leaf'. In descriptions of multiple leaves, the neuter plural is used, e.g. folia linearia 'linear leaves'. Descriptions commonly refer to the plant using the ablative singular or plural, e.g. foliis ovatis 'with ovate leaves'.[]
