Fractal characteristics of leaves of {\sl Osmanthus fragrans} lour

The goodness of linear fit of double-logarithmic plot of the number of boxes to box size is significantly great: all the absolute values of coefficient of correlation are greater than 0.9991 that is very close to 1, the expectation. So we conclude that leaves have typical fractal characteristics, which can be studied by fractal theory. The FDs of all leaves of Tree01 from the sample are between 1.7258 and 1.8880, with an average of 1.8065, a standard deviation of 0.0393 and a coefficient of variation (CV) of 2.1780%, which imply the low discreteness. And all the data are normally distributed as well. Other trees in the sample share the same case, so we conclude that the mature leaves of the same tree have the same FD statistically. The ANOVA using the completely random model shows that the differences between the 10 sample trees are not significant: F=0.706<F(9,490,0.05)=1.899, which means that the mature leaves of Osmanthus fragrans Lour share the same FD statistically. Therefore we presume that the mature leaves (or other module) of the same species share the same FD statistically. Finally we propose an idea of founding plant fractal taxonomy.
