How can you tell how many seed leaves a plant has?
– Is this a plant that has already germinated and you want to identify (and count) which of its leaves are seed leaves? That’s more difficult. Some plants discard their seed leaves within weeks after germination. Some keep them below the soil and only raise their true leaves above the soil. In some plants, the seed leaves are of a markedly different form that the true leaves, but in some (especially pine and related softwood trees) the seed leaves look almost identical to the true leaves.
