What's the difference between foliaceous and leaflike?
Foliaceous
Definition:
(a.) Belonging to, or having the texture or nature of, a leaf; having leaves intermixed with flowers; as, a foliaceous spike.
(a.) Consisting of leaves or thin laminae; having the form of a leaf or plate; as, foliaceous spar.
(a.) Leaflike in form or mode of growth; as, a foliaceous coral.
Example Sentences:

(9) Keratinocytes grown on collagen gels expressed pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus foliaceous, and bullous pemphigoid antigens.
(10) Antigen expression for cells grown on synthetic matrices was similar to that for cells on collagen, except for failure of the keratinocytes on synthetic membranes to express superficial cell antigens and pemphigus foliaceous antigens.
(11) We suggest that penicillamine as well as inducing autoimmune disease might exacerbate subclinical pemphigus foliaceous in this group, accounting for those few patients whose skin disease fails to resolve following drug withdrawal.

(13) The other two known desmogleins are DGI, which is a target antigen in another autoantibody-mediated blistering disease of the epidermis, pemphigus foliaceous, and HDGC, which is expressed in the basal layer of the epidermis and in the simple epithelium of, for example, the colon.
Leaflike

Example Sentences:
(1) Respirable (10 less than 10 micrometers) raw cotton dusts associated with the processing of middling, SLM and LM raw cottons were predicted to contain the following % weight composition of specific vegetable ingredients: leaflike = 70--72%, stem = 13--18%, bark = 3--8%, exocarp-mesocarp = 3.6%, endocarp = 1--2% and seed = 0.5--2%.
