Significance of Petiolar Anatomy in Taxonomy of Acanthaceae | Chapter 6 | Advanced Research in Biological Science Vol. 7

 The paper reports observations on anatomy of petioles earlier uninvestigated 9 class belonging to 6 genera of the classification Acanthaceae. The species intentional are Pachystachys lutea Nees, Peristrophe montana Nees, Pseuderanthemum malabaricum (C. B. Clarke) Gamble, P.reticulatum Radlkf, Rungia parviflora  (Retz.) Nees, Staurogyne zeylanica (Nees) O.Ktze, Stenosiphonium cordifolium (Vahl ) Alston, S.parviflorum T. Anders and S.russellianum Nees. The petioles are usually circular or broadly circular in outline and adaxially channeled. The scope of development of endomorphic physiognomy and their distribution, inclusive of container inclusions, are described. The vasculature is mainly resolved into a main prominent arc in addition to few or none vascular bundles. The bodily patterns showed great alternative in the epidermis, extensions, pattern of vascular supply and sclerenchyma surrounding it, cell additions, etc., and should be considered orderly important individualities in the future. A key helping labeling of taxa investigated is determined based on these characters. Bodily characters are continual and conservative and thus have potential to be secondhand in plant taxonomy.
