Leaf
|
This hydrilla
verticillata leaf has many clearly defined plant cells. The leaf has a dark
stem down its middle. It's edges are serrated with sharpened little "thorns" at the tips. The surface of the leaf is similar to the
onion
epidermis, but the nuclei of the plant cells in the leaf are barely visible if at all.
The cells seem to be lined up into columns that all extend from one end of the leaf to its tip and which narrow as the tip is approached. Some few dark cells appear which seem to have sucked up more of the blue stain than most others.
