lamina
In flowering plants (angiosperms), the blade of the leaf on either side of the midrib. The lamina is generally thin and flattened, and is usually the primary organ of photosynthesis. It has a network of veins through which water and nutrients are conducted. More generally, a lamina is any thin, flat plant structure, such as the thallus of many seaweeds.
