LEAVES    ARE  THE  MAIN   SITES  OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS   and  transpiration   (water  loss &nbs p; by   evaporation ) in  plants A typical   leaf   consist  of     a   thin , flat  lamina (blade)  supported  by  a  network   of   veins  , a  petiole(leaf stalk); and  a  leaf  base ,where  the  petiole   join   the  stem  . Leaves  can  be  classified     as  simple , in  which    the  lamina  is  a  single   unit  ,  or   compound  , in leaflets.Compound   leaves   may  be  pinnate  , with   pinnae  (leaflets)  on  both  sides  of  a  rachis  (main  axis ),or...
