Leaf venation has functioning of a transport channel of the water and nutrients in the leaves. It is possible to classify the leaves by those shapes. Differences of the flow pattern were observed with the different forms of leaf venation. In the net type venation, the water absorbed from the thick leaf vein to fine leaf vein. The water in leaf spreads to entire of the leaf with the branching of vein. The parallel venation and the dichotomous venation show that the vein branched from the root of leaf vein. The parallel venation has fine lateral veins to realize the bypass of flow. In the dichotomous venation, this does not have the connection of the other vein, however, this has the tiny hole in leaf vein. This suggests that water supplying realizes with the water exchange with the cell.
