1. Phylloclade is a modified stem which is green and performs photosynthesis.on the other hand, a phyllode or phyllodia is modified petiole with or without rachis which performs photosynthesis.
2. Phylloclade arises from axil of leaf .Phyllode is not an axillary structure as it itself is a modification of a part of leaf.
3. Axillary bud is absent as phyllode itself develops from a axillary bud. In case of phyllode axillary bud is present .
4. Phylloclade bears leaves , flowers and fruits whereas these structures are absent in phyllode.
5. Phylloclades are mostly succulent and store water, latex, food etc .Phyllodes are never succulent.
6. Phylloclade may help in vegetative reproduction whereas a phyllode do not help in vegetative reproduction.
