English term or phrase: venation
Definition from planandplant.com:
the arrangement of the veins in leaves and petals. Trees that are simliar in other characteristics can identified by the patterns of the veins in their leaves.

Example sentence(s):
  • In pinnate venation, the veins extend laterally from the midrib to the edge, as in apple, cherry and peach. Palmate venation occurs in grape and maple leaves, where the principal veins extend outward, like the ribs of a fan, from the petiole near the base of the leaf blade. The University of Arizona
  • Parallel venation occurs in the leaves of nearly all monocotyledonous Angiosperms, whose embryos have one cotyledon, as in flowering plants such as lilies and grasses. Net Industries
  • Recent work has shown that this diversity in venation has consequences for leaf and whole-plant hydraulic capacity, for leaf biomechanical support, and for leaf tolerance of vein damage. eco.confex.com

nervation


Definition from own experience or research:
Nervation er, hvordan ledningsstrengene er placeret i et blad. Et blads ledningsstrenge kaldes ofte "nerver" eller "årer" i daglig tale.

Example sentence(s):
  • Alle slægter består af slyngplanter med brede blade med tydelig bladstilk og netformet nervation, hvorved de minder en del om bladene hos tokimbladede planter. - Den Store Danske  
  • De største blade er normalt ikke over 6,5 cm lange, og deres nervation er kun svagt udviklet. - Tidsskriftet Fyns Natur  
  • Det sterile blad er glat, gulgrønt, lidt glinsende og lidt sukkulent. Bladets nervation er ret utydelig og gaffelgrenet. - Fugleognatur.dk  

Explanation:
Et blads nervation kan f.eks. være ligenervet, buenervet, fjernervet eller håndnervet. Se http://www.biologitiltiden.dk/print.php?id=39

I Kjærulff Nielsens ordbog gives både "nervation" og "nervatur" som danske oversættelser af "venation".
