An '''enation''' is a scaly leaflike structure, differing from a leaf in its lack of vascular tissue. Enations are created by some leaf diseases{{citation needed|date=February 2022}} and occur normally on ''Psilotum''. They are also found on some early plants such as ''Rhynia'' of the Devonian period, where they are hypothesized to have aided in photosynthesis.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/plant/lower-vascular-plant|title=Lower vascular plant - botany|author=|date=|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|accessdate=8 May 2019}}</ref>
