Phylloclade (A) - (ii) Euphorbia
Phylloclades are flattened photosynthetic branches or stems that resemble leaves.

Cladode (B) - (iv) Opuntia
Cladodes are also flattened photosynthetic stems but typically differ slightly from phylloclades in form and function.
Example: The genus Opuntia; it is a succulent plant that adapts to extreme climatic conditions. The aerial part of the plant consists of the cladodes.
Phyllode (C) - (i) Acacia
Phyllodes are modified petioles (leaf stalks) that become leaf-like and perform photosynthesis, replacing the leaf blade.
Example: Acacia species have phyllodes instead of true leaves.
Inflated petiole (D) - (iii) Pistia
The petiole (leaf stalk) becomes swollen or inflated to aid in flotation or other functions.
Example: Pistia (water lettuce) has inflated petioles to help it float on water.
