Anatomical work done on the genus Rotala L. is reviewed and studies on the anatomy of adult stems and leaves and the SEM of the cuticle and stomata on leaves of 10 species Rotala L., are presented. A 'key' based on anatomical features of diagnostic value is formulated to recognise the species from each other and the impact of such evidence on the infrageneric relationship, is discussed.
