Leaf Shape: Cordate
Heart-shaped. The leaf is attached to the petiole at the notched end. Cordate can also be used to describe a leaf base.
The Eastern Redbud is a classic example of cordate.
From the subopposite leaf arrangement, to the crenate margins and the cordate leaf shape, the Katsuratree is a useful plant for identification features. Here the shape is cordate, but the leaves vary and some can appear orbicular.
