The eophylls in palms are morphologically very consistent for each palm group and they show remarkable distinguishing characters. Epidermal studies on the eophylls of 'Sixteen Arecoid palms show that in all, five different types of epidermal complexes can be recognised within the group and this information is of taxonomic importance.

Abstract


The eophylls in palms are morphologically very consistent for each palm group and they show remarkable distinguishing characters. Epidermal studies on the eophylls of 'Sixteen Arecoid palms show that in all, five different types of epidermal complexes can be recognised within the group and this information is of taxonomic importance.
