Abstract
The comparative studies on foliar epidermal features of two uninvestigated species Ctenolepis cerasiformis (Stocks) Hook. f. and C. garcinii (Burm. f.) Naudin is carried out. The differences were observed in morphology as well as in epidermal anatomy. Ctenolepis cerasiformis is found to be hypostomatic whereas C. garcinii is amphistomatic. Stomatal index on abaxial side of C. cerasiformis is 17.37±0.16 and on abaxial side of C. garcinii is 19.07±0.41 while it on adaxial side was 6.72±0.74. The stomatal index was found higher on abaxial side in C. garcinii. The stomata on adaxial side of Ctenolepis garcinii are found to be larger (length- 35.43±2.57 and breadth- 22.99±0.70).
