Recall that a matchbox manifold is a continuum \(M\) with a foliation \(\mathcal F\) given by a covering by foliated coordinate charts \(\{\varphi_\alpha:\overline{U_\alpha}\to[-1,1]^n\times T_\alpha\;/\;\alpha\in A\}\) where each \(T_\alpha\) is a totally disconnected clopen subset of some Polish space \(X\) such that the coordinate transition functions are smooth. It is minimal if each leaf is dense in \(M\). Given such \(M\) for which \(\mathcal F\) is without holonomy there is a presentation \({\underset{\longleftarrow}{\lim}}\{p_\ell:M_\ell\to M_{\ell-1}\;/\;\ell\geq\ell_0\}\), where each \(M_\ell\) is a triangulated branched \(n\)-manifold, each \(p_\ell\) is a proper simplicial map and \(M\) is homeomorphic to the inverse limit of the presentation.
