Which holomorphic curves can be leaves of a non-singular holomorphic foliation of ℂ^2$\mathbb C^2$?

It is easy to see that for any entire function f : ℂ → ℂ$f : \mathbb C \to \mathbb C$, its graph G(f) = {(z,f(z)) ∈ ℂ2 | z ∈ ℂ}$G(f) = \{(z,f(z)) \in \mathbb C^2 \mid z \in \mathbb C\}$ can be translated by (0,c)$(0,c)$ for any c ∈ ℂ$c \in \mathbb C$, so that all the translated graphs {G(f) + (0,c) | c ∈ ℂ}$\{G(f) + (0,c) \mid c \in \mathbb C\}$ form the leaves of a holomorphic foliation of 2$\mathbb C^2$.

If V : ℂ2 → ℂ2$V : \mathbb C^2 \to \mathbb C^2$ defines a holomorphic and nowhere zero vector field on 2$\mathbb C^2$, then there is a unique non-singular holomorphic foliation of 2 by$\mathbb C^2$ by holomorphic curves that are everywhere tangent to V$V$. These are the orbits of the local $\mathbb C$-action that V$V$ induces on 2$\mathbb C^2$. It is known that the leaves of such a foliation must be topologically either planes or cylinders.

Is it known exactly which holomorphic curves X ⊂ ℂ2$X \subset \mathbb C^2$ can be a leaf of a non-singular holomorphic foliation of 2$\mathbb C^2$?
