Abstract
In the past (Grisebach 1872; Schimper 1898; Turrill 1929) as well as recently (Johnson 1973; Mooney et al. 1974), an evolutionary and ecological importance has been attributed to the leaf structure of the mediterranean evergreen sclerophyllous phanerophytes. Nevertheless, anatomical data on these leaves are sporadic and rather superficial (Kummerow 1973).
