The leaf venation of the eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) is characterized by a flat, linear shape with a prominent midrib and parallel secondary veins. The leaves are evergreen, typically measuring 1 to 2 inches in length, and have a distinctive two-ranked arrangement, meaning they are arranged on either side of the twig. The venation pattern contributes to the leaf's needle-like appearance, which helps reduce water loss in its shaded forest habitat.
