Means in each column followed by the same letters are not significantly different at 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 according to Duncan’s multiple range test.
S ignificant at 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 ; s ignificant at 𝑃 < 0 . 0 1 ; NS: nonsignificant; —: absence of basal sinus; - -: absence of lateral sinus 3 and 4.
LS: leaf shape; SL: shape of lobes; LC: leaf color; LMD: leaf margin dentation; AS: apex shape; DH: density of hairs; PC: petiole color; LL: leaf length; LW: leaf width; PL: petiole length; PD: petiole diameter; DBS: depth of basal sinus; DLS1: depth of lateral sinus 1; DLS2: depth of lateral sinus 2; DLS3: depth of lateral sinus 3; DLS4: depth of lateral sinus 4.
