Leaf Shape

Ovate

* An Ovate leaf is described as being broadest __below__ the middle, and roughly 2x as long as it is wide.
* "egg-shaped”

Leaf Shape

Obovate

* An Obovate leaf is described as being broadest __above__ the middle, and roughly 2x as long as it is wide.

Leaf Shape

Lanceolate

* A Lanceolate leaf is at least 3x longer than wide, and broadest __below__ middle.

Leaf Shape

Leaf Shape

Cordate

* Leaves that are Cordate-shaped have leaves that are broad to the point and then turn upwards at the base, forming a notch.
* "heart-shaped"

Leaf Shape

Obcordate

* Obcordate leaves are the reverse of Cordate leaves. They start at a point and then widen until they form a notch at the apex.

Leaf Shape

Elliptical

* Elliptical leaves have the broadest width in the middle and then taper off at the ends.
* "football-shaped"

Leaf Shape

Oblong

* Oblong leaves are 2-3x as long as wide and have parallel sides.

Leaf Shape

Peltate

* Peltate leaves are rounded with the petiole attached underneath the base of the leaf.

* Spatulate leaves have a similar shape to a spatula.

Leaf Shape

Reniform

* Reniform leaves are broad and wider than they are high.
* Reniform leaves are shaped like kidneys.

Leaf Shape

Hastate

* Hastate leaves are very recognizable. They are taper off at three apexes and are arrowhead-shaped.
