The present experiment was conducted at the Greenhouse complex, Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, ASPEE College of Horticulture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat) during 2024-25. As per the analysis of 19 genotypes of Portulaca, G₁₈ germplasm of Portulaca oleracea also performed well in case of internodal length (3.68 cm), leaf area (1.27 cm²), leaf length (3.03 cm) and leaf width (1.55 cm). Germplasms G₇, G₁₀, G₁₁, G₁₆ and G₁₇ had leaves with green colour group, while the remaining germplasms showed yellow-green colour group. Leaf thickness in all the germplasms of Portulaca ranged between 1.37 mm to 1.59 mm. Maximum number of leaves (52.89) were recorded in G₁₇ germplasm of Portulaca pilosa. G₁ to G₉ and G₁₉ Germplasms of Portulaca grandiflora and G₁₇ germplasm of Portulaca pilosa produce cylindrical leaves, while G₁₀ to G₁₆ germplasms of Portulaca umbraticola and G₁₈ germplasm of Portulaca oleracea produce obovate leaves.
