In addition to preventing excess water loss, epicuticular wax can serve as sunblock, reflecting part of the blazing sunlight away from the plant. This can prevent water loss AND photoinhibition of photosynthesis. Check out the waxy stems of Euphorbia canariensis. #Euphorbiaceae #wax #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Another function of epicuticular wax is to make plant surfaces slippery for insects. Insects can’t eat a slick, waxy leaf if they can’t hold onto it… or can slip to their death from the waxy rim of a pitcher plant. Nepenthes sibuyanensis by Eric Hunt CCBYNCND2 #Nepenthaceae #wax #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

Close-up photo of the opening of a tropical pitcher plant. The rim of the pitcher is shiny and red.

This little cluster of chanterelles just won the 3D Art Sculpture category in the North American Mycological Association competition. #fungi #botanicalart #mushrooms #wax #sculpute On view at Gallery 200 (Ottawa) until the start of March.

Water soluble encaustic painting of a cluster of golden chanterelles against a stylized background of leaves. Two sculptures of the same chanterelles grow out of the bottom right corner of the painting.

Water soluble encaustic painting of a pair of yellow chanterelle mushrooms on a black bacground surrounded by dead grey leaves. Those same mushrooms are sculpted in wax and painted with oil paints to grow out of the bottom right corner of the painting.

Humans exploit epicuticular wax. Perhaps the most famous is carnauba wax, which is the wax from the leaves of a South American palm, Copernicia prunifera (#Arecaceae). The wax flakes off the dried leaves & is much used in cosmetics, food coatings, pharmaceuticals & car wax. #wax #Botany 🌾🧪🌱
