Abstract
The origins of the first and second petiolar buds ofHypolepis punctata were clarified in relation to the early development of the leaf primordium, which arises from a group of superficial cells of the shoot apical meristem. One of these superficial cells produces a two-sided leaf apical cell which subsequently cuts off segments to make a well-defined cell group, called here the leaf apical cell complex, on the distal part of the leaf primordium. Meanwhile, cells surrounding the leaf apical cell complex also divide frequently to form the basal part of the leaf primordium.
Two groups of basal cells of the leaf primordium located on the abaxial and the adaxial sides initiate the first and the second petiolar buds, respectively. The initial cells are usually contiguous to the leaf apical cell complex, constructing the abaxial and adaxial flanks of the very young leaf primordium. However, the first petiolar bud sometimes develops from cells located farther from the leaf apical cell complex. These cells are derived from those originally situated in the peripheral region of the shoot apical meristem.
