Answer:
Characteristics of a Leaf
The leaf is a lateral dissimilar appendage of the stem.
A leaf is always borne at the node of the stem.
Generally, there is always an axillary bud in the axil of a leaf.
It is exogenous in origin and develops from the swollen leaf primordium of the growing apex.
The growth of leaf is limited.
Rose plants:
The leaves are borne alternately on the stem. In most species they are 5 to 15 centimetres (2.0 to 5.9 in) long, pinnate, with (3–) 5–9 (–13) leaflets and basal stipules; the leaflets usually have a serrated margin, and often a few small prickles on the underside of the stem.
Neem plants:
Neem leaves are medium to large in size and elongated to oblong in shape, averaging 20-40 centimeters in length. The vibrant green leaves are smooth and glossy with sharp, serrated edges. Neem leaves grow on the branches of neem trees in groups of two, and each branch produces around eight groupings.
