Leaf Tip (apex)<br />
Leaf tip types are determined by the<br />
angle they form, by the pointedness of<br />
the tip, and by the curving either convex<br />
or concave towards the tip. As with all<br />
descriptions, you can add adjectives to<br />
further clarify.<br />
A Truncate apex is<br />
a flat tip appearing<br />
as if the leaf apex<br />
was cut off straight<br />
at a 180º angle.<br />
An acuminate apex starts out straight or convex then changes to<br />
concave and gradually comes to a point. The angle should be between<br />
60º and 90º. If the angle is greater than 90º it is a short accuminate<br />
apex and if the angle is less than 60º it is a long acuminate apex.
