Stomatal plugs of Drimys winteri (Winteraceae) protect leaves from mist but not drought. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 1998 Two outstanding features of the flowering plant family Winteraceae are the occlusion of their stomatal pores by cutin plugs and the absence of water-conducting xylem vessels. An adaptive relationship between these two unusual features has been suggested whereby stomatal plugs restrict gas exchange to compensate for the presumed poor conductivity of ...
