Lamina shape does not correlate with lamina surface area: An analysis based on the simplified Gielis equation

The simplified Gielis equation (SGE) can approximately describe the leaf shapes of many different broad-leaved plant species by replacing two parameters of the SGE with leaf width and leaf length with a floating ratio (c–value) to adjust for leaf length. In this study, we tested the validity of the...
