Structure and development of hairs inTinantia fugax (Commelinaceae)

  • Published:
Proceedings / Indian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Structure, development and organographic distribution of hairs have been studied on both vegetative and floral parts ofTinantia fugax (Commelinaceae). A total of eight types of non-glandular and glandular hairs have been recognised. Of these, unicellular, bicelled vesicular, uniseriate acicular and fusiform glandular hairs have not been reported in Commelinaceae by the previous workers.
