The anatomical features of leaves and stems of ten species belonging to six genera of Caryophyllaceae family were studied. They are Silene L., Vaccaria Wolf, Holosteum L., Sagina L, Tunica (Hall) Scope and Telephium L. The results showed that three types of mesophyll have been recognized, Bifacial (dorsiventral) in Telephium imperati, Silenechlori foliaand Vaccaria hispanicaas well as isobilateral in Tunica pachygona, while ground tissue found in the remaining species. Thickness of lamina between 450.11 um in Vaccaria hispanica and 119.80 um in Holosteum glutrinsum. While cuticle thickness occurred between 10.10 um in Silenechlori folia and 1.22 um in Holosteum liniflorum. Stem gives a good character in separation of the species. Shape, size and the numbers of cortex layers are taxonomically significant to identify species. Thickness of stem between 432.19 um in S. saginoides and 10.39 um in H. umbellatu. Also, the thickness of the vascular bundle and the presence of pith and its absence, which gave a good taxonomic importance in the separation of related species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
