Abstract
In present work, an attempt was made to
investigate Rauvolfia tetraphylla L. endomorphologically. The stem and
petiole are characterized by the presence of epidermis, cortex, vascular region
and central pith. The leaf shoes the upper and lower epidermis; leaf lamina has
mesophyll which is differentiated into palisade tissue and spongy parenchyma
and midrib region have collenchyma which is followed by bicollateral vascular
region. The stem shows the presence of collateral vascular bundles. The
presence of multicellular trichomes were observed with average length of 0.29
mm on stem, petiole and leaf. The leaves are hypostomatic and characterized by
the presence of paracytic stomata. Stomatal index - 22.81%; stomatal frequency-
24.6 per sq. mm and stomatal length- 31.19 μm X 20.41 μm was observed.
