Which is one reason I made nofurther attempt at a further explanation.  You can find more than adozen types of vernation on pages 332 and 333 with drawings andexplanations.  Stern's Botanical Latin can be purchased from Amazon for$20, used copies for less.  It is filled with information.

Steve,
 
We cannot talk about vernation typesnot seeing the midrib as it is presented on the second drawing.
It can as well be a half of a leafrolled involutely.
 
The third drawing (convolute) iswhat I thought about (but I was afraid to say) -
that the term "convolute" may referonly to at least two objects
like one leaf inside another one ora spadix wrapped by a spathe.
 
Anyway in my cord photos, the thirdtype, although probably not occuring in Araceae
is possible, so it must have a nametoo.
 
It's becoming complicated...
