Infra-Specific Variation in Wax on Leaf Surfaces [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1965 The structure of the surfaCe wax on green and glaucous variants in Eucalyptus urnigera, Poa colensoi (natural cline forms), Pisum sativum, and BraBsica oleracea (mutants) are described as seen under the electron microscope. Preliminary chemical data are also given. The green forms always possess wax deposits which are either smooth films on the cuticle

The epidermis in Passerina/ (Thymelaeaceae): structure, function and taxonomic significance
Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2000 Epidermal features were studied in all 17 species of Passerina, a genus endemic to southern Africa. Leaves in Passerina are inversely ericoid, the adaxial surface concave and the abaxial surface convex.
