Abstract
The present study deals with the morphological and anatomical
characters of the different part of leaf (Leaf lamina, Petiole and cuticle) of
a variety, Dasheheri of Mangifera indica (Mango) collected from
Balrampur area in the terai region of Uttar Pradesh. It aims to use their
significant characters for species and genus identification. The leaves are
simple, deep green, up to 25cm long and 6 cm wide, oblong - elliptic to lanceolate
in shape with entire and sometimes undulate margin, acute base and apex and
having eucamptodromous type of venation.The anatomical characters observed were
the absence of trichomes, collateral closed vascular bundles, uniseriate,
barrel shaped epidermal layers, presence of resin canal between parenchymatous
cells, anticline wall patterns. Leaf is further characterized by the presence
of both adaxial and abaxial epidermis and in between them palisade and spongy
parenchymatous cells are arranged. The cuticular cells are slightly thick
walled and polygonal in shape. The stomata are hypostomatic confined to lower
epidermis and are anomocytic type. The leaf petiole shows large vascular
bundles arranged around the medulla.
