Succulence is an adaptation to low water availability characterised by the presence of water-
storage tissues that alleviate water stress under low water availability. The succulent …

By their wide morphological diversity, succulent leaves have aroused the interest of many
researchers. Nonetheless, comparative anatomical studies of unifacial, bifacial, and …
