Pulvina are common in the bean family <a href="/wiki/Fabaceae" title="Fabaceae">Fabaceae</a> and the prayer plant family <a href="/wiki/Marantaceae" title="Marantaceae">Marantaceae</a>. A pulvinus on a petiolule is called a pulvinulus. </p><p>In some plants, the petioles are flattened and widened to become <a href="/wiki/Phyllode" title="Phyllode">phyllodes</a> (also known as phyllodia or cladophylls) and the true leaves may be reduced or absent. Thus, the phyllode comes to serve the functions of the leaf. Phyllodes are common in the genus <i><a href="/wiki/Acacia" title="Acacia">Acacia</a></i>, especially the Australian species, at one time put in <i>Acacia</i> subgenus <i>Phyllodineae</i>. </p><p>In <i><a href="/wiki/Acacia_koa" title="Acacia koa">Acacia koa</a></i>, the phyllodes are leathery and thick, allowing the tree to survive stressful environments. The petiole allows partially submerged <a href="/wiki/Hydrophyte" class="mw-redirect" title="Hydrophyte">hydrophytes</a> to have leaves floating at different depths, the petiole being between the node and the stem. </p><p>In plants such as rhubarb (<i><a href="/wiki/Rheum_rhabarbarum" title="Rheum rhabarbarum">Rheum rhabarbarum</a></i>), celery (<i><a href="/wiki/Apium_graveolens" title="Apium graveolens">Apium graveolens</a></i>), <a href="/wiki/Artichokes" class="mw-redirect" title="Artichokes">artichokes</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Cardoons" class="mw-redirect" title="Cardoons">cardoons</a> (<i>Cynara cardunculus</i>), the petioles ('stalks' or 'ribs') are cultivated as edible crops. The petiole of rhubarb grows directly from the <a href="/wiki/Rhizome" title="Rhizome">rhizome</a> and produces the leaf at its end. Botanically, it is categorized as a vegetable but, culinarily, it is more often used as a fruit.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Longest">Longest</h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Petiole_(botany)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Longest" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <p>The longest known petiole is that of the royal waterlily or iaupê jaçanã <i><a href="/wiki/Victoria_amazonica" title="Victoria amazonica">Victoria amazonica</a></i> which is up to 23 ft (7.0 m) in length.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span><h2 id="Etymology">Etymology</h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Petiole_(botany)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Etymology" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> <p>'Petiole' comes from <a href="/wiki/Latin" title="Latin">Latin</a> <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/petiolus#Latin" class="extiw" title="wikt:petiolus">petiolus</a>, or 'little foot', 'stem', an alternative <a href="/wiki/Diminutive" title="Diminutive">diminutive</a> of 'pes', 'foot'.
