Plant morphology share the same basic structure and development as leaves in other plants, and therefore cactus spines are homologous to leaves as well. This aspect of plant morphology overlaps with the study of plant evolution and paleobotany. Secondly, plant morphology observes both the vegetative (somatic) structures of plants, as well as the reproductive structures. The vegetative structures of vascular plants includes the study of the shoot system, composed of stems and leaves, as well as the root system. The reproductive structures are more varied, and are usually specific to a particular group of plants, such as flowers and seeds, fern sori,
Eremophila foliosissima Eremophila foliosissima Eremophila foliosissima, commonly known as poverty bush, is a flowering plant in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is a small, erect, densely foliaged shrub with long, narrow, hairy leaves and mauve to purple flowers. It is similar to "Eremophila gilesii" but is more dense and rounded, has more crowded leaves and has different hairs on the flowers. "Eremophila foliosissima" is an erect, rounded, densely foliaged shrub usually growing to no more than tall with stems and leaves covered with short, stiff, curved white hairs. Older leaves usually hang down the stem, forming
