%T  Leaf micromorphology of Kalanchoë laciniata (Crassulaceae)
%K 
%X  The main aim of the work was to characterize morphology and anatomy of succulent leaves. Morphological and anatomical studies conducted on succulent leaves of  Kalanchoë laciniata . The anatomy of leaves where studied with the use of light microscopy. This species belongs to the family Crassulaceae and it demonstrates the presence of adaptive traits which are necessary to survive and allow them inhabit in dry environment. Family Crassulaceae occur on arid and semi-arid areas, among the rocks, on the sandy areas and in the mountains. Anatomical studies show that leaves of  K. laciniata  possess a water storage tissue and mesophyll does not consist of palisade and spongy parenchyma.  K. laciniata  like the other species belonging to family Crassulaceae present physiological and morphological adaptations.
