agree  Rachel Fell: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fogliolina - maybe - not enough context... like these: http://eol.org/pages/418460

  -> Thanks Rachel, I agree about the context but in any case it refers to the small shape of the leaf no matter what plant it belongs to, I think. Several plants have this type of leaf, if not most of them!! :)
