Tree and Leaf Identification
![Page 2: Tree and Leaf Identification · 2020-05-06 · Leaf Venation, Lobing, Shape, & Margins • Leaf lobing –Pinnately lobed - with the lobes arising along the length of the mid-line](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022043005/5f8d541d0e4d0d37ef0594c9/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Leaves
• Leaves are the best and often the easiest way to identify a tree.
• Needles and scale of evergreens are also considered leaves.
• Questions to consider when identifying leaves:– Are the leaves:
• simple or compound?
• margins smooth or margins rough?
• any sinuses or lobes?
• What is the size, shape, texture, and color variation of the leaves?

Plant Identification• Bud - A compressed,
undeveloped shoot. Buds may be lateral or terminal.
• Node - point on the stem where leaf or bud is borne. The space between two nodes is an internode
