Horizontal image showing how whorled leaves are arranged on a tree's stem. Each leaf is located singularly at the same node on the stem, branch, or twig. The presence of axillary buds at the node of each individual leaf stem, or petiole, helps confirm this leaf arrangement. This image is of a Northern Catalpa tree.
