heart-shaped leaves
Valentine-silhouette plant parts
Heart-shaped leaves have a rounded form that tapers to a point, resembling a stylized heart symbol.
The base of the leaf typically has two rounded lobes where it meets the stem.
Many plants are identified by this feature: The philodendron's heart-shaped leaves make it a popular houseplant.
Botanists call this shape cordate.
