Leaf Data of Parrotia subaequalis (Hamamelidaceae)

Description

The data consist of the area, length and width of the leaves of 10 geographical populations of P. subaequalis collected in Southern China from July to September, 2016.

Usage

data(leaves)

Details

In the data set, there are four variables: PopuCode, Length, Width and Area. PopuCode is used to save the number codes of different geographical populations; Length is used to save the scanned leaf length data (cm); Width is used to save the scanned leaf width data (cm); Area is used to save the scanned leaf area data (cm squared).
