#' Leaf measurements (all, n=744) for Eucalyptus nitens trees in 
#' Tasmania, Australia. 
#'
#' @description
#' The length, width, and area of Eucalyptus nitens leaves were measured
#'  for all the samples
#' of Candy (1999). 
#' @usage
#' data(eucaleafAll)
#' @format Contains leaf-level variables, as follows:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{time}{Time factor, in two levels: early or Late.}
#' \item{tree}{Sample tree code identificator.}
#' \item{shoot}{Shoot description factor, in three levels.}
#' \item{l}{Length of the leaf, in mm.}
#' \item{w}{Width of the leaf, in mm.}
#' \item{la}{leaf area, in cm\eqn{^{2}}{^2}.}
#'  }
#' @source 
#' Although the original source of the measurements is the Dissertation of 
#' Dr Candy (1999), 
#'  the data file used here was courtesy of Prof. Timothy Gregoire at
#'  Yale University (New Haven, CT, USA). Furthermore, these data were used by
#'  Gregoire and Salas (2009).
