To my understanding: Aristae is an appendage so by definition it should be distinct from the leaf apex. Being cuspidate means being sharply pointed and here the margin converge to make a pointed tip. In simple words, take a CONE. If it is sharpy pointed then it is cuspidate, but if you attach a NEEDLE on the top then it becomes aristate. Ofcourse both of them can hurt depending on how stiff they are. Ochrea is a or more than one stipule that can surround the stem to be called as truncate when it doesnt have any tip and seems like chopped off or may look like cylinder too.... Enjoy Pankaj
