Definition: A leaf shape trait [TO:0000492] which is the 3-D shape [PATO:0002266] of the surface [NCIT:C25245] of the leaf lamina [PO:0020039], including its degree of curvature [PATO:0001591] and whether it is bent [PATO:0000617].;The 3-dimension shape of the surface of the leaf lamina, including its degree of curvature and bending.
Additional comments: None

Allowed values:

value	description
concave	A longitudinal posture term indicating the leaf lamina is curved upward along the central axis, such that the upper leaf lamina surface is concave.
conduplicate	A longitudinal posture term indicating the leaf lamina is folded upward along the central axis. (Synonyms, folded)
convex	A longitudinal posture term indicating the leaf lamina is curved downward along the central axis, such that the lower leaf lamina surface is concave. (Synonyms, concavoconvex, planoconvex)
convolute	Leaf lamina is contorted. (Synonyms, twisted)
flat	The leaf lamina is a 2-dimensional plane.
incurved	Leaf tip is curved upward.
involute	A longitudinal posture term indicating the outer portions of the leaf lamina are rolled inward or upward.
plicate	Leaf margin is pleated, with a series of longitudinal folds.
recurved	Leaf tip is curved outward or downward. [PATO:0002211]
revolute	A longitudinal posture term indicating the outer portions of the leaf lamina are rolled outward or downward.
undulate	The leaf lamina surface is rippled or wavy in its 2-dimensional plane. [PATO:0000967] (Synonyms, wavy, rippled, sinuate)
