    Colleen Dejan
    This document describes the external and internal structures of leaves from different plant species. It discusses leaf morphology such as phyllotaxy, shape, margin, and tip. Diagrams show leaf anatomy like the vascular tissues and layers in dicot and monocot cross-sections. Tables list features of modified leaves that serve protective, reproductive, or storage functions. A second section describes stipules and semaphylls, accessory structures associated with leaves, giving examples from different plant families.
