Abstract
Stereoscan investigations of more than 350 leaf epidermis samples fromAnnonaceae, Myristicaceae andMonimiaceae reveal that primary and secondary cuticular sculptures in some cases are stable markers on the generic level. A comparison betweenAsimina andDeeringothamnus shows the two genera to be systematically distinct but apparently closely related.
