2. A leaf without a leaf-stalk is called sessile. Sessile leaves are called amplexicaul or stem clasping when the leaf-base clasps the stem; perfoliate when the lobes meet around the stem so that the blade appears as though it were pierced by the stem; decurrent when the lower edges of the leaf extend downward along the stem as ridges or wings; and sheathing when the base of the blade is attached more or less encircling the stem
