In [[botany]], the following terms are used to describe the '''shape of plant [[leaf|leaves]]''':&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Acicular (''acicularis''): Slender and pointed, needle-like&lt;br /&gt;
* Acuminate (''acuminata''): Tapering to a long point&lt;br /&gt;
* Aristate (''aristata''): Ending in a stiff, bristle-like point&lt;br /&gt;
* Bipinnate (''bipinnata''): Each leaflet also pinnate&lt;br /&gt;
* Cordate (''cordata''): Heart-shaped, stem attaches to cleft&lt;br /&gt;
* Cuneate (''cuneata''): Triangular, stem attaches to point&lt;br /&gt;
* Deltoid (''deltoidea''): Triangular, stem attaches to side&lt;br /&gt;
* Digitate (''digitata''): Divided into finger-like lobes&lt;br /&gt;
* Elliptic (''elliptica''): Oval, with a short or no point&lt;br /&gt;
* Falcate (''falcata''): sickle-shaped&lt;br /&gt;
* Flabellate (''flabellata''): Semi-circular, or fan-like&lt;br /&gt;
* Hastate (''hastata''): shaped like a spear point, with flaring pointed lobes at the base&lt;br /&gt;
* Lance-shaped, lanceolate (''lanceolata''): Long, wider in the middle &lt;br /&gt;
* Linear (''linearis''): Long and very narrow&lt;br /&gt;
* Lobed (''lobata''): With several points&lt;br /&gt;
* Obcordate (''obcordata''): Heart-shaped, stem attaches to tapering point&lt;br /&gt;
* Oblanceolate (''oblanceolata''): Top wider than bottom&lt;br /&gt;
* Oblong (''oblongus''): Having an elongated form with slightly parallel sides&lt;br /&gt;
* Obovate (''obovata''): Teardrop-shaped, stem attaches to tapering point&lt;br /&gt;
* Obtuse (''obtusus''): With a blunt tip&lt;br /&gt;
* Orbicular (''orbicularis''): Circular&lt;br /&gt;
* Ovate (''ovata''): Oval, egg-shaped, with a tapering point&lt;br /&gt;
* Palmate (''palmata''): Divided into many lobes&lt;br /&gt;
* Pedate (''pedata''): Palmate, with cleft lobes&lt;br /&gt;
* Peltate (''peltata''): Rounded, stem underneath&lt;br /&gt;
* Perfoliate (''perfoliata''): Stem through the leaves&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Pinnate]] (''pinnata''): Two rows of leaflets&lt;br /&gt;
**odd-pinnate : pinnate with a terminal leaflet&lt;br /&gt;
**paripinnate, even-pinnate : pinnate lacking a terminal leaflet&lt;br /&gt;
* Pinnatisect (''pinnatifida''): Cut, but not to the midrib (it would be pinnate then)&lt;br /&gt;
* Reniform (''reniformis''): Kidney-shaped&lt;br /&gt;
* Rhomboid (''rhomboidalis''): Diamond-shaped&lt;br /&gt;
* Round (''rotundifolia''): Circular&lt;br /&gt;
* Sagittate (''sagittata''): Arrowhead-shaped&lt;br /&gt;
* Spatulate, spathulate (''spathulata''): Spoon-shaped&lt;br /&gt;
* Spear-shaped (''hastata''): Pointed, with barbs&lt;br /&gt;
* Subulate (''subulata''): [[Awl]]-shaped with a tapering point&lt;br /&gt;
* Sword-shaped (''ensiformis''): Long, thin, pointed&lt;br /&gt;
* Trifoliate, ternate (''trifoliata''): Divided into three leaflets&lt;br /&gt;
* Tripinnate (''tripinnata''): Pinnately compound in which each leaflet is itself bipinnate&lt;br /&gt;
* Truncate (''truncata''): With a squared off end&lt;br /&gt;
