The heteroblastic series:Plants produce different types of leaves

Chitwood and Sinha, 2015While walking in the Public Gardens of Palermo, it came to me in a flash that in the organ of the plant which we are accustomed to call the leaf lies the true Proteus who can hide or reveal himself in vegetal forms. From first to last, the plant is nothing but leaf.Goethe
