| Abstract : | |
| The plants under investigation are characterized by the presence of compound leaves , amphistomatous nature and single layered epidermis except Eugenia which is hypostomatous and with multilayered epidermis. Presence of spines in Aegle and Feronia and the presence of thick and fleshy nature of the leaves reflect on their droughr tolerance capacity. The stomatal density is higher (800/mm2) in Eugenia while lower in Tamarindus (300/mm20) and in Aegle almost equal in both the epidermis. Stomatal index is higher in Eugenia as compared to other plants. |
