Field notes

Morphology

Leaves are typically large and imposing, often lobed, deeply cut, or pinnate, and can vary greatly in shape (e.g., heart-shaped, spear-shaped, or divided). The plants exhibit metamorphosis, producing distinct juvenile and adult leaves of different sizes and shapes. They also produce cataphylls, which are rigid, leaf-like protective sheaths that can be green or succulent.
