*What is the shape of the leaves at top left called? I used "pointed-end oval" in the #AltText.

Anyone?

I'm prepared to suffer embarrassment when you post the shape-name everyone knows except me. :-)

@DemocracySpot well I looked it up how it relates to leaves and it said "ovate"...🤷‍♀️

@LikeItOrLumpIt

I'm am *not using that word! 😂

LikeItOrLumpIt, 10 months ago

@DemocracySpot

Ovulate and something Catholic church-related I can't put my finger on.

LikeItOrLumpIt, 10 months ago

@DemocracySpot
Apostolate might be the catholic one.

@LikeItOrLumpIt

Close. You reminded me. Apostate.

Prostate. Oy!

Again, I am *not using that word to describe a leaf shape. I'll be imprecise and call it oval, first. :-)

LikeItOrLumpIt, 10 months ago

@DemocracySpot It covered all the oval shapes anyway. Not specific to the pointed ones. Maybe someone will come up with the right word and it will be nice sounding.

@garthderby said "almond-shaped" and I think that's perfect. *Like something else, rather than a sciencey-name some won't know.

Thanks for your help, all's ya!

@DemocracySpot Here's a chart from wiki that I hope can help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_leaf_morphology

@Bon_Jardin

Thank you! It's "elliptic." I'm going with almond-shaped. At least I know what the "sciencey" name some (most) wouldn't know.

I learned from your chart.

Bon_Jardin, 10 months ago

@DemocracySpot I like that stuff. :)

DemocracySpot, 10 months ago

@Bon_Jardin

Science is cool.

garthderby, 10 months ago

@DemocracySpot I would call them almond-shaped, non-serrated.

DemocracySpot, 10 months ago

@garthderby

🏆 Almond-shaped wins! Perfect!

Thank you! 😘
