Leaf Morphology Variation in Aquatic vs Terrestrial Plants | Botanical Illustration #1444573 (License: Personal Use)

The image displays four distinct leaf morphologies of a single plant species, labeled in Indonesian: (a) juvenile leaf (Daun muda), adult leaf (Daun dewasa); and (b) terrestrial habitat leaf (Daun di habitat daratan), aquatic habitat leaf (Daun di habitat perairan). The juvenile leaf is simple and lobed, the adult leaf is more complex with deeper incisions, the terrestrial leaf is broad with cut segments, and the aquatic leaf is finely dissected and feathery-typical of heterophylly in response to environmental conditions.

Used in educational biology or botany web pages explaining phenotypic plasticity, heterophylly, or plant adaptation. Targets students, educators, and nature enthusiasts seeking visual examples of morphological variation due to developmental stage or habitat.
