Simple leaf is a leaf whose blade is not divided to the midrib even though lobed. It is a leaf, when its lamina is entire or when incised, the incisions do not touch the midrib. Testa is the outer layer of seed coat. It is thick, hard and leathery. Cacti are succulent plant with a thick fleshy stem which typically bears spines, lacks leaves, and has brilliantly coloured flowers. Pitcher plants and Venus fly trap are insectivorous plants. They have modified leaves to catch insects. Garlic and onion have fleshy leaves which store food.
