Beech leaf
The beech leaf is a common figure in heraldry and is represented as a single leaf or as a smaller amount in the coat of arms.
The book page is only part of the plant, next to the tree, the branch or fruit Buchel as a coat of arms figure is used.
The more or less serrated leaves of the common beech (Fagus sylvatica) can be in all heraldic colors in the coat of arms , green and gold are preferred. The leaves are shown with or without a stem, occasionally also open-ended in the shield or field . The figure is emblazoned as overturned if the stem points towards the head of the shield , otherwise the leaf is rising . The natural beech leaves should be suggested with a few leaf veins, but neglected in the description of the coat of arms .
The beech leaf figure can be in a heraldic field with other heraldic figures.
