Thanks. And yes, although you cant trust leaf morphology alone, its a really useful tool when it comes to naming species and therefore to conservation.

This raises an academic question: how does a thorough understanding of leaf morphology contribute to advances in plant taxonomy, ecological studies, and biodiversity conservation?

The explanation of leaf margins, starting with “entire,” is very helpful, and the use of personal illustrations adds a great touch.

A number of my blog audience have complained about my
website not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera.
Do you have any ideas to help fix this issue?

Well, the best way to figure out where to place a leaf in an illustration is to look very carefully at the plant, and take that as your guide.
