In three species with monomorphic shoots (A. vesiculosa, U. vulgaris, U. reflexa), tissue P and K content in traps was significantly higher than that in their photosynthetic shoots, whereas N content was about the same. The evolution of this plant group is considered to show the optimization of these mineral cost-benefit relationships.
