Abstract
The foliar sclereids in 134 species ofBoronia have been studied on the basis of revealed morphological data. The vein-endings display three types, namely conventional tracheids, terminal tracheoids and terminal sclereids. Terminal trecheoids and terminal sclereids are classified into distinct types. They are of considerable morphogenic interest.
