Abstract

Trichomes diversity from the study of foliar epidermal anatomy has been studied for 51 species belonging to 40 genera and 20 families. In the studied plant species, 10 different types of trichomes were observed for both glandular and eglandular types. Among these species, 38 are amphitrichomic while the remaining 13 are either epitrichomic or hypotrichomic. The most frequent types of trichomes were attenuate and uniseriate types.   Key words: Trichomes, foliar epidermis, glandular, eglandular.
