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
