Tamron SP 90MM f/2.8 AF Macro | | Many leaves of Cynoglossum officinale are petioled but some, like those shown here, are not. In my limited observation, those from whose axils flowers or stems grow are not petioled; leaves without flower or stems forming in the axils have petioles. This may also be a function of petioled lower leaves versus non-petioled upper leaves. | | Click on the photo for a larger image
