Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Fiction of bullate leaves
I always thought it was so they would not rip to
bits in the wind. rather the way banana leaves
are built to shred, which if they did not the
whole leaf would lead to some disastrous ripping
from the trunk. I mean, THIS is how I would have designed them.
