Phytosanitary Certificate for Import
I'm struggling with some entries on a Phytosanitary Certificate for the import of plant matter. It's funny how the simplest word actually make the hardest phrases to get right!
It says:
'Parte Vegetal: PLANTA'
I have looked at some example of those certificates but can't see any that have an entry such as 'Vegetal Part' / 'Plant Matter' etc.
Thanks, I have a couple more but will post seperately

Plant part(s)
Followed by "Whole plant" for "PLANTA". With respect, I don't think "Vegetable part" will be well understood and I can't find any examples of its use in this sort of document. But "plant part(s)" is common in legal sources generally on plant importation/exportation, although I can't seem to find a phytosanitary certificate that has anything for this.
"Country/locality of origin
Common name
Botanical name
Plant part(s)
Additional requirements"
https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/7/319.56-13
The context in the following is different (pesticides) but it illustrates official (US) language in this area:
"Registrants should express “Each Component in Formulation” (block 13) in terms of plant parts (Whole plant, leaf, root, pollen, seed), in order to provide satisfactory information for Insect Resistance Management and human and ecological risk assessments.

Personally I don't think there's any problem with "Plant part: whole plant", and there are examples out there, albeit from other contexts:
"Plant Part: Whole plant - Maturity: Mature "

"Botanical Name: Echinacea purpurea
Organic Status: Certified Organic

Plant Part: Whole Plant"

Note from asker:
| Yes, on reflection I think 'Plant part' is better and your reference (exactly the sort of thing I was looking for) demonstrates that. Thanks! |

vegetable part
See below. In my understanding, the question is askng whether it is the leaf, root, stem, flower, etc.

leafy part
Then again, perhaps it depends on the plant... some are leafier than others. The leafy part of the plant with its large surface area for assimilating sunlight is where respiration occurs. For most plants, the other 2 parts are the root and stem systems.
