Bilateral symmetry
Leaves that exhibit lines of symmetry typically include those with a bilateral or mirror symmetry, such as oak, maple, and aspen leaves. These leaves can be divided into two identical halves along a central line. In contrast, leaves with irregular shapes, such as those from certain tropical plants, usually do not have lines of symmetry. Symmetry in leaves often plays a role in their evolutionary adaptation and efficiency in photosynthesis.
One type of symmetry is rotation. The second type of symmetry is translation. The third type of symmetry is reflection.

Bilateral Symmetry
The symmetry lines on a leaf depend on its shape. Many leaves have one line of symmetry down the middle, splitting it into two matching sides. But some leaves, like certain oak leaves, don’t have any symmetry at all.
