Abstract
The growth patterns of 2 closely related deciduous tree species, S. wallichii (at 100 m and 1600 m altitude) and S. khaisiana (at 1900 m) in Meghalaya, northeastern India, were compared. Both species conform to Rauh''s model of architecture. Sylleptic lateral branches formed on S. khasiana during periods of vigorous growth of the main shoot. Although stem extension and leaf production were continuous throughout the growing season, they exhibited (endogenous?) periodicity which was marked in S. wallichii at lower altitude. S. wallichii at lower altitude had the fastest turnover of leaves.
