[edit] Comments

I vote that the description of arrangement of leafs on a stem is already on the main leaf article, and should not be here, or should be separate. Also, types of how compound leaves are should be separated from individual leaflet shape discussion. Both compound leaf types and leaf arrangement on stems need pictures perhaps more than the other leaf shape examples do. 128.101.70.96 16:49, 20 October 2005 (UTC)lotusduck

[edit] what is a oblong? a square or a leaf shape?

i reckon this makes no sense at all what is a oblong? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.64.76.53 (talk) 20:23, 11 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] leaf type

Could costapalmate make it onto the list?Mmcknight4 04:55, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] group of leaflets is considered one leaf

It is very confusing that a group of leaflets is considered one "entire leaf" -- even a group of groups of groups are just one leaf?! Needs much more explanation! -74.75.213.191 (talk) 21:08, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations & thanks to the maker(s) of & contributors to this article

I just want to say I love this list. Thank you for putting it up & making it good (though I'm not a botanist so I can't expertly judge its quality or anything, but it's certainly good enough for laypersonish old me). What fantastic, beautiful words they are (e.g. Lanceolate, Flabellate, Bipinnate, Perfoliate) just as words!--Tyranny Sue (talk) 04:14, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Compound leaves

I changed the previous description of 'compound' which used to say that leaves had to be multiple pinnate to be called this. Imc (talk) 07:34, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
