TRICHOMES MORPHOLOGY ON PETALS OF SOME ACANTHACEAE SPECIES
ABSTRACT: A preliminary
taxonomic study was carried out on seven Acanthaceae species namely as
Andrographis paniculata, Pseuderanthemum graciliflorum, P. carruthersii, Asystasia
gangetica ssp. micrantha, Ruellia repens, Justicia comata and J. betonica. The
study was undertaken to investigate the morphology of trichomes present on the
surfaces of flower petal. The variations found in this study are in their types
and density. Based on observation, two forms of trichomes are present in all
species studies which are glandular and non-glandular trichomes. There are
seven types of trichomes found in this study. Trichomes types are shown to have
systematic significance that can be used to differentiate and identify certain
Acanthaceae species studied.
