Comparative leaf anatomy of two species of <i>Ipomoea</i> L. (Convolvulaceae): taxonomic importance and adaptations to xeric conditions of the cangas
Leaf anatomical traits showed to be useful to delimit <i>Ipomoea cavalcantei</i> and <i>I. marabaensis</i> in the non-reproductive stage. For individuals of <i>I. cavalcantei</i> cultivated in topsoil, some features, especially of the epidermis, respond to light and water supply.
