Cuneate Definition
In botany, "cuneate" refers to a leaf shape or leaf base that is wedge-shaped. It's characterized by being narrower at the base (where it attaches to the stem) and widening towards the tip (apex). This wedge shape is formed by the leaf margins converging towards the base, creating an angle less than 90 degrees.
