斑葉


Definition from own experience or research:
斑葉是葉片顏色不是全綠的。斑葉大多數是綠色和白色相混的,也有少數是黃色和綠色的。有斑葉的植物不一定都是基因或變種,而是因為帶有病源的緣故。

Example sentence(s):
  • 斑葉鵝掌藤是鵝掌藤的近親,特性也和鵝掌藤相近。 - 桃園文化國民小學  
  • 斑葉品種的常春藤需要較多的陽光,如此葉面的斑紋才會更加美觀吸引人的目光。 - 三民花園  
  • 繁殖九重葛一般採用插枝法,於每年的春季進行。重苞品種因為發根率較低,故改用高壓法繁殖。近年來常有同一株上具有綠葉和斑葉以及不同的苞色出現,那是以「嫁接法」或「靠接法」變出來的嵌合體喔!單靠靈活運用園藝技術的巧思,就能增添萬分九重葛的豐采。 - 台灣大百科
