      laub,OHG. loub leaf, foliage, Icel. lauf, Sw. l[94]f, Dan.

      1. (Bot.) A colored, usually green, expansion growing from
            the side of a stem or rootstock, in which the sap for the
            use of the plant is elaborated under the influence of
            light; one of the parts of a plant which collectively
            constitute its foliage.
  
      Note: Such leaves usually consist of a blade, or lamina,
               supported upon a leafstalk or petiole, which, continued
               through the blade as the midrib, gives off woody ribs
               and veins that support the cellular texture. The
               petiole has usually some sort of an appendage on each
               side of its base, which is called the stipule. The
               green parenchyma of the leaf is covered with a thin
               epiderm pierced with closable microscopic openings,
               known as stomata.
