Convergent evolution of the developmental anatomy of leaf abscission: evidence from the arboreous lycopsid <i>Sigillaria</i>

Leaf abscission evolved independently in arboreous lycopsids and in euphyllophytes. The developmental anatomy of leaf abscission is highly congruent across clades, highlighting the strong shared constraint that active leaf shedding be coordinated with wound healing.
