Anatomical structure in plants
A leaf gap is: a space in the: stem of a plant through which the——leaf grows. The leaf is connected——to the "stem by," the leaf trace, "which grows through the leaf gap."
The leaf gap is a break in the vascular tissue of a stem above the point of attachment of a leaf trace. It exists in the nodal region of the stem as a "gap in the continuity of the primary vascular cylinder above the level where a leaf trace diverges toward a leaf. This gap is filled with parenchyma tissue".
