| Abstract: | MARTINEZ-SOLIS, I., IRANZO, J., ESTRELLES, E. & IBARS, A. M., 1993. Leaf domatia in the section Alaternus (Miller) D C, of the genus Rhamnus (Rhamnaceae). Anatomical and morphological study of leaves from three species of Rhamnus {R. alaternus, R. myrtifolius and R. ludovici-salvatoris) which comprise the section Alaternus (Miller) DC. from the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands, have revealed the presence of domatia, which are macroscopic infundibuliform structures. Although not all the leaves of one single plant showed domatia, all the individuals of each species examined presented these structures. |
