A chart for use with the Botany Cabinet and the Botany Cabinet Nomenclature Cards. Printed in green on thick white plastic.

Two sets of 18 leaf shapes on cards. One set with separate labels and one control set labeled at the bottom.

The Leaf Cards aid the child in moving from the concrete representation of leaf shapes to abstraction.

In the first series, the forms are filled in (solid), the second series has a thick outline of each shape, and the third series has a thin outline of each shape.
