Description
This slide presents three transverse sections of leaves adapted to different moisture conditions. The water lily represents a hydrophytic leaf with large air spaces and thin cuticle, the privet shows typical mesophytic features with balanced tissue layers, and the oleander illustrates xerophytic adaptations such as thick cuticle and sunken stomata. The staining enhances contrast between tissues, making it ideal for comparative study.
