  • Description: <p>The distribution of phenolic deposits in the leaves of Eragrostis racemosa from different habitats was investigated during cultivation under uniform environmental conditions. The plants retained their leaf phenolic distribution pattern over a period of 8 months. Plants from dry habitats had phenolic inclusions in both epidermal layers, whereas phenolic deposits were absent or only occurred in the abaxial epidermal layers of plants occupying moist habitats.</p>
