Gymnosperm leaf


In this picture is a branch of pine leaves. A Pine leaf is also known as a Gymnosperm leaf. A Gymnosperm leaf is a downsized version of a megaphyll, which means that they still are connected to a vascular system. The leaves of a Gymnosperm plant can be small and scaly, needle-like, or have a wide blade. Gymnosperms are usually evergreen plants, this means that they do not lose their leaves during the changing of seasons.
