    This document discusses distinguishing different types of specialized leaves. Students are provided specimens of various plants with specialized leaves like cactus, aloe vera, and pitcher plants. They examine the leaves, note any special structures, draw them, and determine each structure's function, such as leaves adapted for dry areas, climbing, or storage. Questions ask students to identify leaf specializations associated with different environments and how to determine if a structure is a modified leaf or stem.

    EXERCISE 21

    SPECIALIZED LEAVES

    OBJECTIVE
    To distinguish the different types of specialized leaves

    SPECIMENS
    Kataka-taka (kalanchoe), Dona Aurora or bougainvillea, cactus, century plant, aloe vera, onion,
    digman, begonia, rose, suha, oak leaf bracket fern, pitcher plant, walking fern, water hyacinth, and
    cadena de amor.

    PROCEDURE
    Examine all the leaves that you have. Note the different specializations and determine their
    corresponding functions.

    RESULTS
    Draw the portion where the specialized structure is located and indicate on the space below each
    drawing the specialized function.

    QUESTIONS
    1. What leaf specializations are associated with dry areas? Climbing? Reproduction and storage?

    2. Since tendrils and spines can either be modified leaves or modified stems, how would you
    determine the origin of a given specimen?
