Been to the end of the internet -- trying to find plant identification, classification using botanical terms to more correctly describe the darlings. Want to know more than the few terms I have in the junk drawers of my mind: Ovate, obovate, lanceolate, compound, opposite. Just can't remember what this type of classification is called. Line drawings and/or would be a plus.
hugs, kisses, and thanks!! Now where is that master gardener dude when you need him?

Well, those terms are all used to describe leafs. You might say that those terms --classify-- the leaf types?
I don't have a web link... but in Dr. Michael Dirr's book "The Manual of Woody Landscape Plants" he has several pages of line drawings of those sorts of leafs.
I hope that helps you out
Good luck-

The first three describe leaf shape. The fourth term mean each "leaf" is made up of many leaflets. The last term decribes how the leaves attach to the branch (as opposed to 'alternate').
