Veins in a fig leaf, Ficus lyrata
Fig leaf. Macrophotograph of the leaf surface and veins of the fiddle-back fig, Ficus lyrata. This fig obtains its name from the shape of the leaves which resemble the body of a violin. Here, part of a leaf is seen. The veins contain vascular bundles which transport liquid food and water to and from the leaf. Smaller veins branch diagonally off the main veins, and these branch in turn creating a fine and elaborate network. This arrangement of veins is one of the distinguishing characteristics of dicotyledonous plants. Magnification: x5 at 6x6cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of veins in a fig leaf, specifically from the Ficus lyrata plant. The fiddle-back fig gets its name from the striking resemblance of its leaves to the body of a violin. In this image, we are treated to a close-up view of part of a leaf, revealing the complex network of veins that run through it. The veins in this fig leaf play a crucial role in transporting vital nutrients and water to and from the leaf. Vascular bundles within these veins ensure efficient circulation, allowing for optimal growth and development. As we zoom in further, smaller veins can be seen branching off diagonally from the main ones, creating an exquisite pattern reminiscent of delicate lacework. This unique arrangement is one of the distinguishing characteristics found in dicotyledonous plants like this fiddle-back fig. The magnification used for this photograph allows us to appreciate every minute detail at 6x6cm size – truly showcasing nature's artistry up close. With its emphasis on botany and plant anatomy, this mesmerizing macro photograph serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and aesthetic appreciation. It reminds us that even within seemingly ordinary objects like leaves, there exists extraordinary complexity waiting to be discovered and admired.
