(a) Ratio of two times the lamina and the width between the centroids, for the four species tested in the lab. The small error bars indicate that leaves among a species are homothetic, as assumed by an existing model34. (b) Ratio of two times the lamina and the width between the centroids, for 114 leaves27. The complete list of the species and the corresponding value for their ratio is given in Appendix A. The average indicated by the black line is 8.7, and the grey area represents the plus or minus one standard deviation (3.1).
