Abstract

A comparative anatomical study of leaves with long petiole and leaves with inflated petiole of Eichhornia crassipes, developed under normal conditions, was made. This study proved that the morphological differences between long petiole and inflated petiole is related to the volume of aeriferous spaces. Environmental factors contribute to this variation.
