A. E. VAN WYK; P. J. ROBBERTSE; P. D. F. KOK Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society 1982. doi:10.1111/j.1095-8339.1982.tb00359.x
Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation All examined Eugenia species had stomata on lower leaf surfaces, with occasional water stomata.
- Observation Southern African Eugenia had two stomatal types differing mainly in cuticle ornamentation.
- Observation Stomatal grouping supported earlier grouping by periderm and seed characters.
- Observation Lipid bodies in subsidiary cells were restricted to southern African species.
- Observation Subsidiary cells often contained more tannin than ordinary epidermal cells.
- Observation Variable arrangements of three to five subsidiary cells made mature-topography classification difficult.
- Observation The authors proposed anomostaurocytic for the southern African stomatal type.
- Observation E. uniflora has paracytic stomata.
- Observation Stomatal cuticle ornamentation in E. uniflora and E. incerta differed from southern African species.
- Observation Stomatal traits supported E. incerta being distantly related to southern African species.
