The characteristics of 'Plicata' coconuts with plicate leaves were evaluated, compared with those of 'Laguna Tall' (ordinary tall) as a control. In 'Plicata' coconuts, the process of splitting the leaf lamina into leaflets did not take place, only part of the lamina split into leaflets. Extremely high frequency of the placation was scored with a slight variation ranging from 81% and 92%. The placation patterns were different between both wings of the lamina. Apart from leaf morphology, other traits monitored were almost comparable to those of 'Laguna Tall': there were no significant differences in trunk size, leaf scar interval, leaf size, total number of leaflets, and size distribution of leaflets.
