Abstract

Leaf primordia in the vascular plants are formed at regular intervals at the flanks of the shoot apex. The primordia arise as the result of divisions in groups of cells of the surface and subsurface cell layers at the flanks of the apex. In the ferns, the primordium develops a leaf apical cell characteristic of the species, assumes a dorsiventral symmetry, and by rapid growth quickly overtops the apical meristem.
