The authors prove the following theorem: Let E be an arbitrary non-empty, compact, totally disconnected metrizable space. Then for any \(n\geq 3\), there exists an n-dimensional open orientable manifold L whose endspace is homeomorphic to E and which cannot be realized as a leaf of a codimension one \(C^ 2\) foliation of any closed manifold. This improves a result obtained by \textit{E. Ghys} [Topology 24, 67-73 (1985; Zbl 0527.57016)].
