Leaf epidermal studies of four species of Chlorophytum Ker- Gawl in Nigeria

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...
