    Good to know. Are there any other leaf characteristics to look for when identifying plants? I was just thinking of shape and color, but there must be a lot more.

      If you are a beginner make sure to learn the difference between a compound and simple leaf.

      Leaf underside can be very helpful for some taxa. Lots of people forget to photograph those.

      Also looking at different types of leaf hairs/trichomes. Sometimes this requires a hand lens.

      Pattern of venation is also a good one.
