Abstract
Patches of leaves showing intervenal chlorosis were noticeable in a he althy looking stand of Nymphoides peltata (Gmel. ) O. Kuntze. Analysis of leaf tissue samples revealed that these symptoms can be attributed to iron deficiency. Dissolved iron levels in sediment pore water appe ared to be much lower in the patch with chlorotic leaves than in the h ealthy looking Nymphoides stand, while sulphide levels were raised in the chlorotic patch.
