title: DEVELOPMENT AND FUNCTIONS OF LEAF BASES IN LEAF-SUCCULENT CURIO P.V. HEATH (ASTERACEAE)
abstract: The leaf base in dicots, unlike that in monocots, rarely grows into a leaf sheath and it usually remains barely discernible in the definitive leaf. As a result, the leaf base is frequently overlooked when studying the morphogenesis of dicot leaves. The lack of information of the development of leaf bases in dicots with different morphological leaf types hampers comparing the morphogenesis of their leaves with the morphogenesis of monocot leaves of similar morphological types. The theory of two z
