Abstract
We prove that the open unit ball of admits a nonsingular holomorphic foliation by closed complex hypersurfaces such that both the union of the complete leaves of and the union of the incomplete leaves of are dense subsets of . In particular, every leaf of is both a limit of complete leaves of and a limit of incomplete leaves of . This gives the first example of a holomorphic foliation of by connected closed complex hypersurfaces having a complete leaf that is a limit of incomplete ones. We obtain an analogous result for foliations by complex submanifolds of arbitrary pure codimension with .
