Abstract

TheGlinus lotoides L. is a amphi-stomatal, amphitrichomic and xeromorphic plant. The stomata are anomocytic and their distribution is of potato type. The stellate hairs are present all over the plant. The configurations of epidermal cells in the leaves are straight and highly sinuous on upper and lower surfaces respectively. The ratio of stomatal indexes between the two surfaces of the leaves is uniform, hence may be used for taxonomic studies
