Wikilink for "pleated"

In the lede first para, the descriptive term pleated, as in pleated leaf is wikilinked to Wiktionary article for Pleat.

Does anyone think it might be better matched by linking here: Glossary of leaf morphology#Leaf and leaflet shapes?

Two observations: 1. The wiktionary entry is not particularly informative, and 2. Unfortunately the link to leaf morphology has an entry in the table for "plicated", which is not quite an exact match for pleated.

Just putting it out there. Prime Lemur (talk) 13:31, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

After looking at both options again, I don't think the leaf morphology link clearly describes the pleated leaf in question. Seems to me the current link is a better match. Prime Lemur (talk) 05:26, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
