Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Azara shoots generally have a large and small leaf at each node.
- Observation Young Azara seedlings usually have radially symmetrical shoots and trilacunar nodes with glandular nonvascular stipular structures.
- Mechanism Dorsiventrality depends on alternating asymmetry between successive nodes, with alternation sometimes appearing later.
- Observation Seedling changes do not support a homoeosis interpretation of adult Azara structure.
- Observation Azara seedlings show a continuum from glandular to leaflike stipules, while the original leaf blade remains distinct.
