Stoma
Propagation and reproduction
Definition: A minute opening bordered by guard cells in the epidermis of leaves and stems through which gasses pass.
How it applies to plumeria: Stoma can relate to cuttings, rooting, grafting, seed pods, seedlings, or pollination. These details help explain how a plumeria is reproduced and whether a plant is a clone, a seedling, or a grafted plant.
What to look for: Record whether the observation came from a cutting, grafted plant, seedling, pod parent, or pollen parent. Propagation notes are useful, but they should be kept separate from visual identification traits.
Identification note: This term is one clue. A plumeria should be compared using all available traits, photos, source history, and growing context rather than a single characteristic.
