Loose-leaf lettuces have long leaves that have no head formed, whereas head lettuces are compact and have a conical shape. Head lettuce leaves are also known as "cups", and they are used to hold salad fillings. Butterhead, Loose Leaf, and Batavia are the most popular varieties of loose leaf lettuce.
