Description: English: Photo, showing the growing of leaves. First 2 thick leaves (in the middle) come out of the seed, then a leave with 6 small leaves (on the right), after that a leave with most of the time 2x6 small leaves (upper-left), after that a leave with often 2x8 small leaves. After that the leaves are different and the number of small leaves depends on the conditions, but the number increases while the plant gets bigger. Date: 8 June 2006. Source: Own work. Author: Johan.
