Abstract
Striking interspecific differences in the net biomass production between the field grown Cleome gynandra L. ( Gynandropsis gynandra L.), a C 4 plant, and the C 3 species, Cleome viscosa L., were observed. Cleome gynandra possessed characteristically faster initial growth rate, and leaf area development attained its maximal growth much sooner compared to the C 3 species. The greater net biomass production and leaf area development of C. gynandra were correlated with quicker morphological development and the completion of the life cycle. It is believed that the advantage of the rapid initial growth in C. gynandra can be associated with a significant shortening of the duration of the life cycle.
