Leaf shapes play an important role in tree identification, providing key characteristics that botanists and foresters rely on. As a result, botanists and foresters have developed terms for the patterns and shapes used in tree identification, and many of those terms are used when observing a tree'...
part, and others which consist of a plurality of partial leaves that are found on the petiole (composite leaves). The designations of the different leaf shapes are usually chosen according to the geometric shapes. Most often, a tree leaf is oval, round, triangular, heart-shaped or lanceolate...
Leaves may be heart-shaped, round, oblong, oval, wide or narrow. Some leaves have smooth edges; others are rippled or toothed. The Discover Life website offers a tree identification guide on which you can enter specific tree leaf shapes, as well as other distinctive characteristics you have ...

In the process of tree identification from pictures of leaves in a natural background, retrieving an accurate contour is a challenging and crucial issue. In this paper we introduce a method designed to deal with the obstacles raised by such complex images, for simple and lobed tree leaves. A...
The insect order Phasmatodea is known for large slender insects masquerading as twigs or bark. In contrast to these so-called stick insects, the subordinated clade of leaf insects (Phylliidae) are dorso-ventrally flattened and therefore resemble leaves i
Eucalyptus love to be in the sunniest places available and do well in nutrient-poor soil. Once established, they tolerate drought very well. Interestingly, eucalyptus have different leaf shapes depending on the age of the tree, makingidentification difficultin some situations. ...
Oak tree leaf identification can be a very interesting hobby. Come fall and the oak tree foliage lights up the landscape with its brightly colored leaves. Learning the unique features of each leaf type will help you in distinguishing them. ...
2017). By facilitating the discovery of novel genetic variants and identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), NGS analyses contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of genetic variation within a species and distinctive characteristics of different age classes. Very few conservation ...
