Difference between leaf tendril and stem tendril

1. Leaf tendrils are mostly unbranched whereas stem tendrils may be branched or unbranched .

2. In case of leaf tendrils scale leaves are absent whereas in case of stem tendrils scale leaves may be present at the point of branching.

3. Buds are absent in leaf tendrils whereas axillary buds may be present in the axil of scale leaves.

4. In case of leaf tendril whole leaf or a part of it develops into tendril whereas a branch of stem or a bud develops into stem tendril.
