Check out this cool chart with all the possible shapes, margins, and venations for leaves and their names. Taxonomy rules. (Found at kottke.org.)

Oooo, that's some pretty hot language! I'm reminded anew of how utterly simple and straightforward all these names must have seemed a couple of generations ago when classical languages were routinely taught.

It's so sad that such a thing is true. Just like ballroom dancing. I wish that there were opportunities like learning classical languages and the foxtrot. I think a lot more individuals in my generation (25-30 year olds) would be a bit more well-rounded (not to mention probably better spellers) than they are today.
