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,
Scholtzia parviflora Scholtzia parviflora Scholtzia parviflora is a shrub species in the family Myrtaceae that is endemic to Western Australia. The shrub typically grows to a height of . The plant has a spreading habit with decumbent branches. The evergreen leaves have a length of and no prominent veins. It blooms between August and October producing pink-white flowers. The flowers have a diameter of around and are on pedicels about the same length as the leaves. The plant superficially resembles "Scholtzia uberiflora" but is much more widespread. The species was first formally described by the botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1864 as
