M.Sc. (Botany) / The purpose of this investigation was to determine the following: (i) The effect of water loss by transpiration on the browning of foliage of Protea neriifolia. (ii) Microscopic characteristics of leaves and stems of different P. neriifolia variants. (iii) A comparison of the vase and postharvest life of several P. neriifolia variants. (iv) The concentration of leuco-anthocyanins (brow= ning components) in individual leaves situated on different locations on peduncles of diffe= rent P. neriifolia variants. Protea repens was included in some investigations since this species is less subjected to browning of foliage.
