Narrowly ovate and tapering to a point at the apex. (This term has been interpreted in several ways; some 60 years ago German and Dutch authors used it to denote what we now call oblanceolate. In the illustration, a) depicts the current interpretation, b) Linnaeus’ and c) Lindley’s).
Lance-shaped; long and narrow, diminishing to a point at the tip.
Having a leaf that is three to four times longer than broad, generally widest below the center, and tapering to a point at the apex and base; so named because the leaf resembles the head of a lance.
Lance-shaped; four to six times as long as broad, broadest toward the basal end, sharply angled at both end and especially the apical end, the sides being curved at least along the broad part.
Shaped like the head of a lance; in the form of a narrow oval, tapering towards the tips.
Narrow, tapering to a point at the apex and sometimes at the base.
Lance-shaped, applied in botany to leaves that taper to both ends, their length 4 to 9 times their width, and broadest at or below the middle. Broader leaves are mostly termed ovate or elliptic, narrower leaves linear.
Narrow, with the base broadest, tapering at the tip like a lance or spear.
