What occurs when a plant loses water faster then it can replace it?

The plant is likely to close its stomata, the little breathing mouths (or holes) in the outer skin or epidermis of the leaf, to slow down the rate of transpiration. It is not always good to do this, because it also slows down the rate at which the plant can collect carbon dioxide to feed on.
However, if the plant cannot get enough water to replace whatever water it loses through transpiration, then sooner or later it wilts. If it wilts too badly its leaves die and stop transpiring. If too much of that happens, the plant is likely to wilt and die too.

if you are talking about a plant that used to have leaves and lost them, than the now leafless plant loses (or has water travel faster through it) than with leaves, if you are talking about plants that are always leafless (cacti) it isn't faster than leaf plant because they store their water better so it moves very slowly in cacti.
