Definition
A plant structure or appendage that grows upon a leaf, such as a small outgrowth or specialized formation on the leaf surface.
Etymology
From Greek 'epi-' (upon) + 'phyllon' (leaf). A botanical term describing structures that originate from or attach to leaf surfaces, distinct from structures that grow from stems.
Kelly Says
Some plants grow tiny leaves on their leaves like biological apartment buildings—fungi, lichens, and even small plants called epiphyllous ferns literally set up shop on living leaves.
