LEAFAXIL is where the petiole of the leaf attaches to the stem. Refer to Figure 3.<br />
LEGUME is a flower<strong>in</strong>g plant that bears its prote<strong>in</strong>-rich seeds <strong>in</strong> pods and can fix<br />
nitrogen from the soil (due to the symbiotic root bacteria, rhizobia). Some legumes<br />
<strong>in</strong>clude lentils, beans, clover, alfalfa, lespedezas, vetches, kudzu, and peas. Classification:<br />
K<strong>in</strong>gdom Plantae, class Magnoliopsida, order Rosales, family Legum<strong>in</strong>osae.<br />
LIGNULE (which means tongue) are the two small flaps<br />
at the base of a monocot's leaf that wrap around the stem.<br />
Refer to Figure 9.<br />

LOAM is a type of rich, crumbly soil that conta<strong>in</strong>s an almost equal amount of sand and<br />
silt, plus a smaller amount of clay (it conta<strong>in</strong>s from 28 to 50% silt, less than 52% sand,<br />
and 7 to 27% clay).<br />
LOCULES are compartment or cavity of an ovary, anther, or fruit.<br />
LODGING is the toppl<strong>in</strong>g of plants of a gra<strong>in</strong> crop before harvest, often from w<strong>in</strong>d, ra<strong>in</strong>,<br />
or waterfowl.<br />
LONGITUDINAL STRIATE VENATION is a ve<strong>in</strong> pattern found <strong>in</strong> monocots leaves.<br />
A leaf with longitud<strong>in</strong>al striate venation has its ve<strong>in</strong>s arranged almost parallel to one<br />
another, runn<strong>in</strong>g the length of the leaf (also called parallel venation).<br />
MERISTEM is a group of plant cells that can divide<br />
<strong>in</strong>def<strong>in</strong>itely. It provides new cells for the plant.<br />

MIDRIB<br />
The midrib (rachis) is the central rib of a leaf. It is usually<br />
cont<strong>in</strong>uous with the petiole and is often raised above the lam<strong>in</strong>a<br />
(the leaf blade). On a compound leaf, the midrib extends from<br />
the first set of leaflets (where the petiole ends) to the end of the<br />
leaf.<br />
MILDEW is a parasitic, filamentous fungus that grows on a host plant.<br />
MOLD is a type of fungus (and not a plant). Like other fungi, molds do not conta<strong>in</strong> any<br />
chlorophyll (and cannot make their own food); molds live off the food produced by plants<br />
or animals, or decay<strong>in</strong>g matter. Molds are often parasites on plants, animals, or even<br />
other fungi. Molds reproduce with spores. Some molds spoil our food, but other foods are<br />
produced by the action of mold (for example, blue, Roquefort, and Camembert chesses<br />
have mold grow<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> them, giv<strong>in</strong>g them their flavor). The anti-bacterial drug penicill<strong>in</strong>
