We performed morphological and anatomical analyses to clarify the correlation of variation between leaves and floral characters of Cymbidium goeringii (Rchb. f.) Rchb. f. We observed that the morphological variation in leaf size was correlated with those of floral characters in this species. Moreover, the anatomical analyses indicated that the size variations in leaves, sepals, and petals were caused by decreased number of cells but those of the lips were caused by decreased cell number as well as decreased cell size. Various genes that do not participate in the formation of petals or sepals are involved in the development of the lip, suggesting that such genes contribute to specific processes related to the size variation of the lip at the cellularlevel.
