Abstract
Summary The epidermal structure, organographic distribution, structure and ontogeny of stomatal complex in the family Bixaceae are illustrated and described. This family is represented by a single genus Bixa. The organs investigated are the leaves, stems, petioles, fruits and peduncles. The leaves are amphistomatic. The mature stomata are either anisocytic, paracytic, or anomocytic. The anomocytic is common, while paracytic and anisocytic are of rare occurrence. Stomatal type on the leaf surface is predominantly anomocytic, while the paracytic and anisocytic types are mostly restricted to the petiole. Stomatal complex vary in form, number, orientation, arrangement of subsidiary cells and surrounding epidermal cells in different of the plant. The contiguous stomata, stoma without pore, are also observed. The ontogeny of anisocytic and paracytic stomata is mesogenous, while that of anomocytic is perigenous. Epidermal cells are either polygonal, diametric or elongated and irregularly arranged. Unicellular trichomes occur in this family. The taxonomic significance of the family is also discussed.
