Abstract

The content of N and P in the leaves of the following five families of monocots was studied: Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Orchidaceae, Iridaceae, Amaryllidaceae. It was found that species of different families of monocots had different N and P content and ratio in their leaves. N content was low in Iridaceae and high in Amaryllidaceae. P content was the lowest in Cyperaceae and Poaceae and the highest in Amaryllidaceae and Iridaceae. The minimum N/P ratio was in Iridaceae, the maximum in Poaceae. Thus, the content of N and P and their ratio is specific in different families of monocots.
