Abstract
SUMMARY: The cuticles of plants of the Saxifragaceae, Rosaceae and Leguminosae are compared by chemical methods. Wide differences occur in the deposits of surface wax and cuticular membrane even within species of one genus. The relative proportions of four hydroxy‐fatty acids in the cutin acids of plants of the families are assessed and the value of cutin analysis as a taxonomic criterion is discussed.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
