Label: Leaf margin posture
Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0011314
Type: categorical
Definition: A leaf shape trait [TO:0000492] which is the degree of curvature [PATO:0001591] or curling [PATO:0000405] of the leaf margin [PO:0020128] along the side of the leaf, at the leaf apex [PO:0020137], and at the leaf base [PO:0020040].;The posture (curvature or curling) of the leaf margin.
Additional comments: This trait captures the posture of the leaf margin, where posture refers to the placement of different parts of the leaf's margin relative to a flat plane. This trait's definition and allowable levels will be further refined once more data are available to map onto possible trait values.

Allowed values:

value	description
flat	Leaf lamina, including margins, is a 2-dimensional plane. [PATO:0000407]
involute	Leaf margins along the side of the leaf are rolled upward, such that the margin of the adaxial (upper) leaf surface is rolled inward. (Synonyms, inrolled, incurved)
revolute	Leaf margins along the side of the leaf are rolled under or downward, such that the margin of the abaxial (lower) leaf surface is rolled inward. [PATO:0001963] (Synonyms, recurved)
undulate	Leaf margins are wavy in their 2-dimensional plane. (Synonyms, wavy, rippled, sinuate)
