Abstract

Plant surfaces are mostly covered with microscopic layers of wax which exhibit characteristic morphologies, visible under high magnification. Waxes belonging to three different types were investigated. Powder data of seven natural and three recrystallised waxes as well as of two isolated compounds are presented. The mainly crystalline nature of the studied plant waxes is proved. The correlation between morphology, chemical composition, and powder patterns is discussed.
