Solution

Dear student, Leaves with rough surface are leaves of Bougainville plant that are thorny. Leaves with spines are of cactus. Cactus has spines, the modified leaves, to keep animals from eating the stem, reflect the heat of sun and prevent water loss. Modified stem of cactus is very soft and it stores water and carry out phototsynthesis as they do not have leaves. Thanks and regards
