Basic Leaf Morphology

          Leaf Complexity

          Leaf Arrangement

          Leaf and Leaflet Venation Patterns

        How to measure metric features of various types of leaves:

          Simple Leaf

          Singly Compound Leaf

          Doubly Compound Leaf

        Keep an eye out for unusual leaf morphological features, such as:

          Petiole Character States

          Leaf or Leaflet Character States

        Examine the morphology of the leaf or leaflet

        from apex to base:

          Leaf or Leaflet Apex

          Leaf or Leaflet Margin

            A.

            B.

            C.

          Leaf or Leaflet Base

            As you're doing this be alert to the following:

              Upper Surface of the Leaf or Leaflet

              Lower Surface of the Leaf or Leaflet

              Leaf or Leaflet Shape (a dubious character, considering apex, margin, and base?)
