ANATOMY OF THE CLADODES AND ECOLOGICAL ADAPTATION IN OPUNTIA (CACTACEAE) FROM THE PROVINCE OF BUENOS AIRES (ARGENTINA)

 In this paper we examine the cladodes anatomy of Opuntia arechavaletae, O. aurantiaca, O. bonaerensis, O. elata, O. ficus-indica, O. megapotamica, O. penicilligera, O. sulphurea var. pampeana, and O. ventanensis that grows in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The aim of this study was to est...
