摘要
The present study was carried out to investigate the degree of leaf wetness and its capacity to retain water droplets in relation to leaf morphological characteristics of Valeriana jatamansi J. grown under open and shade habitats. Leaves developed in open habitats had less wettability but higher capacity to retain water droplets and more number of stomata than shade leaves. A significant positive correlation of contact angle (theta) were noticed with trichome length, droplet retention and wax content.
