Most leaves have a stalk, called a petiole, and a blade, or lamina. Chlorophyll, a pigment that leaves use in photosynthesis, makes them green.

Leaf facts:

* Photosynthesis is the process of making sugers for the plants own food through the energy of the sun.

* The vascular (veins) system carries nutrients around the leaf.

* When dead leaves and plants decay they form topsoil which is essential for plant growth.

* The largest leaves belong to the raffiam plant (Raphia farinifera) and the Amazonian bamboo palm Raphia taedigera) growing up to 20 meters long.

* The smallest leaves are those of the floating duckweed. They grow to be 0.6mm long and 0.3mm wide.

* Leaves of the giant water lily (Victoria amazonica) can grow up to 2.5 meters across. They can support the weight of a medium sized dog.

* Trees lose water through their leaves. An average birch with 200,000 leaves can loose up to 400 liters a day.
