Abstract
THE variation in the width of the leaf of Zostera marina cannot be put down to any one particular cause. In common with all water plants, the size of the leaf is probably a reflexion of the nutritional balance in the plant itself, as is shown to be the case by Pearsall and Hanby1 for certain Potamogeton species.
