The Manual of Leaf Architecture is an essential reference for
describing, comparing, and classifying the leaves of flowering
plants. This manual, illustrated with dozens of line drawings and
more than 300 photographs of prepared stained leaves, provides a
framework with comparative examples allowing consistent and
detailed description of both modern and fossil leaves. This
one-of-a-kind resource will be invaluable to a broad range of
people who work with plants, from paleobotanists to systematists to
tropical ecologists.
The Manual allows for the description and identification of
plants independently of their flowers, offering especially useful
assistance in the case of fossil leaves (usually found in
isolation) and tropical plants, whose flowering cycles can be brief
and irregular, and whose fruits and flowers may be difficult to
access. It provides long-needed guidelines for characterizing the
organization, shape, venation, and margins of the leaves of
flowering plants.
Beginning with a set of illustrated definitions of leaf
characters, this manual proceeds to define and illustrate the
variations on each of these characters. The system presented here
is based on a widely tested scheme but has been significantly
expanded and refined through the detailed examination of thousands
of living and fossil leaves.
