 TARO LEAVES PATTERN

Taro leaves, exhibit a distinctive pattern characterized by their large, heart-shaped

appearance and prominent veins. The leaves emerge directly from the underground
corm, showcasing an elegant, asymmetrical design. The upper surface of the leaf is
typically a deep green color, while the lower surface is often lighter.
The most striking feature of taro leaves is the intricate network of veins that
traverse the surface. These veins radiate outwards from the central point of attachment
and consist of multiple secondary veins branching off from the main central vein. This
venation not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the leaves but also aids in the
transport of water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant.
The edges of taro leaves are usually smooth and slightly wavy, adding to their
graceful appearance. The overall texture of the leaf is lush and slightly glossy, which can
vary depending on factors like age and environmental conditions. This distinct leaf pattern
is not only visually captivating but also serves as an essential feature for identifying and
differentiating taro plants from other vegetation.
 MANGO LEAVES PATTERN

Mango leaves typically exhibit an alternate arrangement on the stem, forming a

spiral pattern. They are usually simple leaves with an elongated shape and a pointed tip.
The margins of mango leaves are usually smooth, although some varieties may have
serrated edges. The venation is pinnate, with a prominent midrib and smaller lateral veins
branching out from it. The surface of the leaves is smooth, and they are typically dark
green in color. The size and shape of mango leaves can vary slightly depending on the
specific cultivar.
 MACARANGA TANARIUS LEAF

The pattern of Macaranga tanarius leaves is characterized by large, heart-shaped

leaves that have a prominent network of veins. The veins are typically lighter in color than
the rest of the leaf, creating an intricate pattern that adds to the plant’s visual appeal. The
leaves have a glossy surface that enhances their overall appearance. While the primary
color of the leaves is usually green, certain varieties might display variations such as
reddish hues or even variegation. Overall, the pattern of Macaranga tanarius leaves
showcases a combination of symmetry, veins, and vibrant coloration.
 CLAM SHELL PATTERN

A clam shell typically has a bivalve structure with two hinged halves that open and
close like a book. The exterior surface of the shell often displays concentric ridges or
lines, indicating growth rings as the clam grows older. The patterns and colors of these
shells can vary widely depending on the species, with some showcasing intricate designs
or colors that help camouflage them in their environments.
 MAYANA LEAVES PATTERN

Mayana leaves, are characterized by their vibrant and colorful patterns. These
patterns are a result of pigments in the leaves, which create a mosaic of colors, often
including shades of green, pink, red, purple, and white. The leaves can have various
shapes, sizes, and arrangements, and the patterns can be a mix of stripes, spots, and
other intricate designs. These unique patterns make mayana leaves popular for
ornamental and decorative purposes in gardens and indoor spaces.
