Various forms of leaves (continued)


(above) Retracted ("Suhama-ba") Compared with an ordinary leaf, this leaf is round as a whole and the tips of the lobes are not pointed. Morning glories with this type of leaf have large flowers.


(above) Cicada leaf ("Semi-ba") Just as we said about the leaf lobes of the dragonfly leaf, it is also true that a cicada leaf can have either one pair or 2 on the left or right.
(right) Cicada leaf ("Semi-ba") By cross-combining large-flowered dragonfly leaf strains with large-flowered retracted leaf strains, we can get cicada leaves, which have very large flowers. Now most cultivated large-flowered varieties have this leaf.
