Measurements were made on phyllodes from 44 species, grown inKeywords: annual variation; garden; hydraulic conductivity; morphology; precipitation (climatology); shrub; Australia; Acacia; Dicotyledoneae; Lycopersicon esculentum; Phyllodes Density; Phyllode; WaterHydraulic conductance of Acacia phyllodes (foliage) is driven by primary nerve (vein) conductance and density201210.1111/j.1365-3040.2011.02425.x2016-02-24
