In botany, describing plants with leaves that are separate and free from one another rather than fused or connected.
From Greek eleutheros 'free' and phyllon 'leaf.' Used in botanical terminology for specific leaf arrangements.
Some plants have eleutherophyllous leaves that overlap but don't stick together, which actually helps them shed water and let air circulate—freedom has aerodynamic benefits.
