Guard cells of Paphiopedilum leaves lack chlorophyll, a unique condition. Whether potassium fluxes are involved in stomatal movements is controversial. In attempting to resolve this controversy, we have dissected individual guard cell pairs from frozen-dried epidermal peels of three species. These samples were assayed for potassium using quantitative histochemical methodology. We were unable to detect a correlation between guard cell potassium content and stomatal aperture size. With certain reservations, these results indicate potassium is not the major osmoticum causing stomata of these species to open.
