A type of tree known for its sharp, pointed leaves is the holly tree (Ilex). Holly leaves are typically glossy and have spiny edges, making them visually striking and often associated with winter holidays. Another example is the pine tree, particularly some species with needle-like leaves that can be sharp. These adaptations can help deter herbivores from feeding on the tree.
Leaves with irregular edges are often described as having "serrated" or "lobed" margins. Examples include oak leaves, which can have deeply lobed edges, and the leaves of certain species of maple, which exhibit a serrated appearance. Additionally, some plants, like the holly, have spiny or wavy margins that contribute to their irregular edge characteristics. These variations often serve specific ecological functions, such as deterring herbivores or maximizing sunlight absorption.
