The occasional question ...
What is a curved sheet?
The vocabulary used by botanists to describe plants is very rich. For leaves alone, you can come across dozens of specific terms.
A leaf is said to be curved when its edges are curved upwards, The opposite of ‘curved’ is 'scurved'. The opposite of 'curved' is recurved, i.e. curved downwards.
