Leaf Base:

  • The leaf base connects the rest of the leaf to the stem.
  • It is also called the hypopodium.
  • Two small leaf-like structures called stipules may arise from the leaf base.
  • The leaves that bear stipules are called stipulate leaves while the leaves that do not bear stipules are called ex-stipulate leaves.
  • Stipules are mainly concerned with photosynthesis and protection of bud.
  • In monocot plants, the leaf base expands and covers the stem partially or wholly.
  • In some plants of the family leguminosae, the leaf base becomes swollen and is called pulvinus. It protects the young axillary bud.
