Descendants of leaf

Some of the current part_of children of vascular leaf should probably be part_of leaf, plus a few other changes

current is_a children of leaf

• non-vascular leaf - ok as is

• vascular leaf - ok as is

• prophyll (PO:0009042; is_a phyllome) and scale leaf (PO:0006003; is_a phyllome) should be children of vascular leaf

• Need to add frond and needle as exact synonyms of vascular leaf

current part_of children of leaf

• leaf apex - ok as is

• leaf base - ok as is

• leaf epidermis - ok as is

• leaf endodermis -- I think there is never an endodermis in non-vascular leaves, so this should be part_of vascular leaf
