A one dimensional, steady state, constant temper-ature model of gaseous diffusion in the leaf interior is presented. The model is shown to predict that C02 is absorbed into mesophyll cell walls generally through-out the deep interior of the leaf, while water vapor essentially evaporates only from those cell walls near the substomatal cavity.
