and the arrangement of the leaves in all specimens observed.
2. Inventory the leaf shape of the specimen observation and
record it into the available tables.
3. Inventory the shape of the tip of the leaves (apex folii)plants
from specimen observations and record them into the
available tables.

4. Inventory the form of the base of the leaves (foliibase) of plants

from the observation of specimens and record them into the
available tables.
5. Inventory the leaf edge shape(margo folii)of plants from
specimen observations and record them into the available
tables.
6. Inventory the surface conditionof plant leaves from specimen
observations and record them into the available tables.
7. Inventory the arrangement of plant leaf reflections from
specimen observations and record them into the available
tables.
8. Discuss the results of observations (discussions in groups).

9. Make a note of the morphological features of plant leaves in the

form of concept maps.
10. Communicate observations at the time of response.
11. Make the conclusion.

LEAF (folium)

Leaf (folium) is part of the plant that grows strands on the twigs
(usually green) as a means of breathing and processing nutrients.

Leaf shapes found from the observed specimens:

 Heart (cordatus),the shape looks like an ovate but the base of the leaf shows
an indentation. Found in Betel leaf (Piper betle)

 Shield (peltatus), a leaf that is usually round, has a petiole that is not
planted at the base of the leaf. Found in Ornamental keladi leaves (
Sagittaria sagitifolia)

 ovate (ovatus), a leaf shape that looks like an egg, the widest part is located
at below the middle of the leaf blade. Found in Rose leaves (Rossa sp.)

 Lanset (lanceolatus), the shape of a leaf if length: width = 3.5: 1. Found in

Leaf manga (Mangifera indica)

 Round (orbicularis), a leaf if length: width = 1: 1. Found in Papaya leaves

(Carica papaya) and Cassava leaves (Manihot utilisima)

 Ribbons (ligulatus), the leaf shape is similar to the leaf shape, but longer.
Found in Pandan leaves (Pandanus sp.)

Leaf tip shapes found from the observed specimens:

 Pointed (acutus), if the two edges of the leaf on the right and left of the
mother bone gradually go upwards and meeting at the top of the leaf forms
an acute angle. Found in Rose leaves (Rossa sp.) and pandan leaves (
Pandanus sp.)

 Tapered (acuminatus), like the pointed end but the point where the two
edges of the leaves meet much more high, until the tip of the leaf appears
narrow, long and pointed. Found in Betel leaf (Piper betle), ornamental
keladi leaves (Sagittaria sagitifolia), mango leaves (Mangifera indica),
papaya leaves (Carica papaya) and cassava leaves (Manihot utilisima)

Leaf surface conditions found from the observed specimens:

 Slippery (laevis). Found in Betel leaf (Piper betle),ornamental taro leaves

(Sagittaria sagitifolia), Mango leaves (Mangifera indica) and Pandan
leaves (Pandanus sp.)
 Bald (glaber), found in Papaya leaves (Carica papaya) and Cassava leaves
(Manihot utilisima)
  wrinkled (rugosus), found in Rose leaves (Folium Rossa sp.) The leaf
repetition conditions found from the observed specimens:
 Curved (cervinervis), This leaf has several large bones, one in the middle is
the most large, while others follow a leafy path. Found in Betel leaf (Piper
betle)
 Finger (palminervis),from the tip of the petiole emerge several scattered
bones, showing the arrangement of the fingers on the hand. Found in
Ornamental keladi leaves (Sagittaria sagitifolia), Papaya leaves (Carica
papaya) and Cassava leaves (Manihot utilisima)
 Pinnate (penniverpis), The leaf has a mother bone which is a continuation
of the petiole, from the main bone to the side out the branch bones. Found
in Rose leaves (Rossa sp.) and Mango leaves (Mangifera indica)
 Parallel (rectinervis), has one bone in the middle of a large longitudinal
leaf, while the bone the other bones are distinctly smaller, all parallel to the
mother bone. Found in Pandan leaves (Pandanus sp.)
