- Diagnosis
- Cuticle hypostomatic, cells of upper surface of lamina differentiated into vein and mesh areas, veins up to 18 cells wide, cells of veins rectanguloid, elongate, of uniform width, arranged end to end in longitudinal rows, 17.5-35 x 10 um in size, cells of mesh areas polygonal to variously shaped, irregularly arranged 15-25 x 12.5-25 um in size; anticlinal walls straight, 2.5 um wide over veins, 5 um wide over meshes, surface walls smooth; cells
of lower surface of lamina undifferentiated, very thin, cell outlines not clear, apparently polygonal to variously shaped, irregularly arranged, cells 15 x 7.5
um in size wherever visible, stomata oval, cyclocytic, amphicyclic, irregular in distibution and orientation, 5-7.5 x 5 um in size, guard cells and stomatal slit
not clear due to amphicyclic nature of subsidiary cells, the latter distinct, 6 in number, polygonal, arranged in a ring around stomata, 5-7.5 x 5-6 um in size, walls of subsidiary cells 0.5-1 um wide, stomatal index 6.3.
