“…Similar results was reported by Moore et al (2010) on Smilax, in which identification of specimens based on leaves morphological characters was proven to be an effective approach since it could be applied for plants in their vegetative growth phase without having to wait until the flowering or fruiting period. Meanwhile, Viscosi and Cardini (2011) noted the importance of leaf morphology in taxonomy and thus developed a protocol to facilitate the use of leaf characters in numerical taxonomy.…”

Citrus maxima is a tropical fruit species with high morphological variability on fruit characters, including shape, size, thickness of peel, flesh color and taste. This variability has been used by breeders and common people to practically distinguish different pummelo cultivars. Despite such well known variation, so far there is no published study specifically addressed the extent of phenotypic variability and taxonomy of pummelo in Indonesia. This study was, therefore, aiming at assessing phenotypic variability and taxonomic affinity of Indonesian pummelo cultivars and landraces using multivariate analysis methods. A total of 60 accessions from six provinces were collected, including some representatives of registered cultivars. Twenty one morphological characters were subjected to cluster analysis and principal component analysis. Results showed that two major clusters were formed, in which each group was characterized by combination of distinctive morphological features leading to recognition of two cultivar groups. Based on the fact that the morphology of individuals from intensively cultivated orchards showed similar level of variability to those from sporadically distributed areas, there was strong indication that the morphological variation has genetic background.

“…Studies on leaf epidermal characters of the families Polygonaceae in West Africa (Ayodele and Olowokundejo, 2006) and Moraceae (Ogunkunle, 2013), and some species of family Fabaceae by Saheed and Illoh (2010) have been found to be of considerable taxonomic significance. There is abundant recent literature on leaf epidermal attributes that illustrate their taxonomic value among dicotyledons and monocotyledons (Tomlinson, 1961(Tomlinson, , 1969Ahmad, 1964;Inamdar, 1970;Gilani et al, 2002;Agbagwa & Okoli, 2006;Adedeji & Jewoola, 2008;Moore et al, 2010;Fan et al, 2014).…”

Twelve epiphytic species of the genus Bulbophyllum Thouars, including one endemic (B. sunipia J.J.Verm., Schuit. & de Vogel), collected from Northeast India (Meghalaya) were investigated for their leaf epidermal features using bright field and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and hand sectioning. Features such as epidermal cell size, stomata type, stomatal complex size and index, trichome type and density, cuticular thickening pattern, number of subsidiary cells, number of stomatal rims and stomatal ledge aperture (SLA) shape were considered to generate data for their qualitative and quantitative assessment. The stomata in B. striatum (Griff.) Rchb.f. were found to be of the tetracyclocytic type, with 4-6 subsidiary cells, and a high density (80.52/mm 2 ) and highest number of stomatal groups (14-16). Bulbophyllum cherrapunjeense Barbhuiya & D.Verma exhibited some distinguishing features viz. lowest stomatal density (17.61/mm 2 ), range of subsidiary cell number (3-5), area occupied by stomata (0.017 mm 2 ), and maximum glandular trichome density (235.27/mm 2 ) on the adaxial surface per mm 2 of lamina, and smooth cuticular thickening. Characters like occurrence of stomatal rim, group arrangement of stomata (except in B. affine Wall. ex Lindl., B. cherrapunjeense and B. cauliflorum Hook.f.), epicuticular wax deposition on the surface and presence of scales (multicellular sessile glandular trichome) are reported for the first time for this genus. The study is important for species identification and provides some baseline data for future empirical studies on the taxonomic value of the studied leaf characters.
