    The document summarizes a plant identification lab where students learned about different leaf morphologies including arrangement, shape, margin, and venation. Students practiced identifying these leaf features on plant specimens in the garden and drew diagrams of observed leaves. Key concepts covered included alternate, opposite, and whorled leaf arrangements as well as leaf shapes, margins, and venation patterns like parallel and netted. Inflorescence, corolla, and sepals were also defined.

    Berg, L. 2008. Introductory Plant Biology Plants, People, and the Environment. Belmont, CA: Thomson Brooks / Cole. Stern textbook Purpose: Learn the different types of leaf morphology (phyllotaxy): arrangement of leaf, shape of leaf, margin of leaf, venation and practice identifying leaf morphology / drawing observed specimens in the garden across the street. Results: Figure 1. Attachment of leaves to stem

    Alternate:

    Opposite:

    Whorled: more than three leaves attached at the same node Spiral: leaves rotating in axis around the stem, in a spiral leaf arrangement. Ex. Lauhala, ti leaf

    Rosette: leafs arranged radially a cluster of leaves growing in crowded circles from a common center or crown (usually at or close to the ground) 2.
