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

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

Is it known exactly which holomorphic curves X ⊂ ℂ2 can be a leaf of a non-singular holomorphic foliation of ℂ2?
