Abstract

---

Stomatal morphology of 69 dicot species distributed in 64 genera and 28 families was examined by light and scanning electron microscopy. In all 6 types of stomata i.e., anomocytic, paracytic, diacytic, parallelocytic, cyclocytic and anisocytic were recognized. Within the dicot flora, anomocytic type is most dominant found in 54 taxa, followed by paracytic and diacytic type, represented by 9 and 3 taxa respectively. Whereas, parallelocytic, cyclocytic and anisocytic types are found only in one species each.
