| dc.description.abstract | The mode of formation of the leaflets in the coconut palm has been described. Here the leaflets are formed mainly by splitting, The splits occur along predetermined lines at a very early stage of the blade long before the vascular bundles are formed. The unfolding of the leaflets from the rachis is effected mainly by the enlargement of a cushion of tissue located in the inner angle made by the leaflet with the rachis. The halves of the leaflets open out by a row of motor-like cells located along the length of the blade near the midrib and in the grooves of the dorsal folds of the leaflets. . The reins and the terminal whip are the remnants of undifferentiated leaf tissue. The ' Coiffe ' is only a secondary tissue developed from epidermal cells. The author's thanks are due to Professor V.
