Lettuce (ﺳﻼدﭘﺘﺎ) 1Leaf

The size, shape, and leaf type of lettuce plants vary widely, but in general, the plant's leaves create a dense head or loose rosette. The plant's stem is short, with larger leaves at the bottom and progressively smaller leaves as it ascends the branch. The leaves are usually green or red and can be smooth or curled. The lettuce plant can reach a height of 30–100 cm (12–40 in) and is usually planted as an annual, meaning it only lasts one growing season. Lettuce, often known as garden lettuce, is thought to have originated in Asia Minor and the Middle East.
