Abstract

The laterocytic type of stomatal apparatus in angiosperms is considered. Investigation of the stomatal apparatus of 18 species of Hamamelidaceae, representing 15 genera, showed that in addition to the anomocytic, paracytic, and encyclocytic stomatotypes previously known in the family, the laterocytic type is found in several genera (Dicoryphe, Exbucklandia, and others). Study of 15 species of Chloranthaceae, representing all five genera, showed that laterocytic stomates occur inChloranthus andSarcandra and sometimesHedyosmum, along with stomates of other types.Barbeya oleoides (Barbeyaceae) and the four investigated species ofBalanops (Balanopaceae) have exclusively (or inB. oliviformis mainly) laterocytic stomates. Laterocytic stomates are present also inKadsura andSchisandra of the Schisandraceae, along with the previously known paracytic type. In addition to the foregoing genera, laterocytic stomates are known in some members of the Buxaceae, Celastraceae, Crypteroniaceae, Hydrangeaceae, Icacinaceae Platanaceae, Tetracentraceae and Trochodendraceae.
