CHAPTER XI
LEAVES—FORM AND POSITION
Leaves may be studied from four points of view,—with
reference (1) to their kinds and shapes; (2) their position, or
arrangement on the plant; (3) their anatomy, or structure;
(4) their function, or the work they
perform. This chapter is concerned
with the first two categories.
