Re: [Aroid-l] Holes

From: "E.Vincent Morano" <ironious2 at yahoo.com> on 2012.02.27 at 02:16:47 If these are tropical plants then perhaps is is so they dont get destroyed in tropical storms. If the plants have a weak root system and coulds easily bee uprooted then I think this is the likely reason. But now another question arises; Were they created like this or were the leaves full and somewhere along they line developed holes in them to adapt?   =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A From:=0Aaroid-l-bounces@www.gizmoworks.com [mailto:aroid-l-bounces@www.gizmoworks.com] On Behalf Of John =0ASent: Friday, February 24, 2012=0A7:55 PM =0ATo: ' Discussion=0A of aroids ' =0ASubject: [Aroid-l] Holes =0A=0A =0A=0A   =0A=0A Can anyone say what=0Amight be the biological purpose of leaves with holes in them?  A typical=0Aexample would be Monstera deliciosa. =0A=0A   =0A=0A John. =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A =0A =0A =0A =0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A =0A=0A=0A _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l --1688457910-1754074452-1330309007=:14051-- --===============8636419875813409031==
