a plant with large leaves

A plant with small leaves

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Flowering plants (also known as angiosperms, or anthophyta) have the highest transpiration rates of any plants. They are able to support this because they have a complex leaf structure that includes a network of veins distributing water to the leaf cells doing the photosynthesising.
Detailed explanation-2: -The wider the leaf area, the greater the rate of transpiration because wide leaves tend to have more stomata [5].
Detailed explanation-3: -Temperature Plants transpire more rapidly at higher temperatures because water evaporates more rapidly as the temperature rises. At 30°C, a leaf may transpire three times as fast as it does at 20°C.
