• Entity URI: https://w3id.org/APD/traits/trait_0011318
• Type: numeric
• Definition: A leaf shape trait [TO:0000492] which is the maximum [NCIT:C25564] perpendicular [PATO:0002434] height [PATO:0000119] of a leaf [PO:0025034] placed on a flat surface, indicating the 3-D extent [PATO:0001710] of the leaf. This generally corresponds with whether the leaf is curled [FLOPO:0010468].;The maximum perpendicular height of a leaf when positioned on a flat surface.
• Additional comments: A measure of how planar versus 3-dimensional a leaf is. The term posture refers to the placement of different parts of the leaf's lamina relative to a flat plane.
• units: mm
