Summary:Studies of the foliar epidermal morphology in four species of Chlorophytum; C. orchidastrum , C. bichetii , C. stenopetalum and C. macrophyllum revealed the presence of stomata on both sides of the leaves(amphistomatic stomata distribution). In C. orchidastrum, few stomata are present on the adaxial surfaces. Stomata type has no diagnostic importance as all the species studied have tetracytic stomata. Stomata index (
