“…This trait is considered important in separating the studied samples. This result was consistent with a study conducted by Al-Mousawi et al (2019), which indicated that stem characteristics, such as size, shape, and cortical layers number, are tremendously valuable in separating species.…”

A SPECTS of variations in the stem, leaf, and petiole anatomy of Crataegus monogyna Jacq., Malus domestica Borkh., Prunus armeniaca L., Prunus domestica L., Prunus avium (L.) L., Prunus persica (L.) Batsch, Prunus spinosa L., Pyrus communis L., and Rosa × damascena Herrm. (Rosaceae) have been recorded compared to fresh specimens. The present study disclosed that the anatomical characteristics of the leaf and stem are important in differentiating different species, such as leaf thickness, mesophyll, vascular bundle, and the upper and lower epidermis of the leaf. The only vascular bundle of the leaf mid vein is consistently kidneyshaped except in P. spinosa where it is circular. The petiole outline in the cross section, was between kidney and circular in all species. The data matrix was analyzed numerically using the PAST program. Species were divided into two groups based on cluster analysis and similarity percentage as species belonging to Prunus formed one group and R. damascena and P. persica were placed in another group. The current study indicates the taxonomic usefulness of the largely untapped source of anatomical attributes of Rosaceae.

“…Gaafar (2019) observed wavy polygonal and irregular epidermal cells with only anisocytic stomata in Chenopodium ambrosioides, while the present results showed anisocytic stomata and a wide elliptical shape of the stomatal pore. Al-Mousawi et al (2019) inspected thick anticlinal-walled epidermal cells and anisocytic stomata in A. mexicana, whereas the present study showed polygonal epidermal cells with thin AW and anomocytic stomata.…”

Scanning microscopic imaging has become a valuable research tool in micromorphology with improved techniques playing an important role in analysing the ultrastructure of leaf specimens. The foliar epidermal anatomy of 25 selected poisonous plants with special emphasis on stomata and trichomes was reported using microscopic techniques, for instance, light micrographs (LMs) and scanning micrographs (SEMs). This study aimed to investigate micromorphologies of studied species that are helpful for the identification of poisonous plants. Plants were collected, pressed, dried, identified and then analysed for microscopic study. For making microscopic slides, 1 or 2 leaves were taken in a test tube and dipped in 30% nitric acid and 70% lactic acid for few minutes, and then placed on petri plates for separating the epidermis. Numerous quantitative and qualitative foliar anatomical features of adaxial and abaxial surfaces, including epidermal cell shapes, stomata size, subsidiary cell size, the pattern of the anticlinal wall, the morphology of the stomatal complex and trichome diversity, were examined. A small number of the considered species had anomocytic and anisocytic stomata; a few species had paracytic stomata, for instance, Ricinus communis, Euphorbia royleana, Buxus pilosula and Sorghum halepense; and only Ipomoea carnea had cyclocytic stomata in the studied taxa. The epidermal cells of the analysed species were irregular, while some exhibited polygonal, wavy, tetragonal and elongated cell morphologies. Overall, this study emphasises the significance of foliar micromorphology analysis as a valuable resource for identifying potentially poisonous plants and demonstrates its contribution to maintaining public welfare, thereby benefitting public health and safety.

“…The distribution and anatomy of this species have been studied by Fariña et al, (2003), Taia (2006), Satyavani et al, (2013b), Alwahibi and Buhary (2013), Pynee and Lorence (2014) and El-Hadidy et al (2018). Morphological studies of leaf epidermis and Palynological studies are important in the classification of species, and have been used in many studies, such as Al-Mousawi et al (2019) and Khamis and Hamdy (2023).…”

Heliotropium curassavicum L., 1753 belongs to the Boraginaceae family, and it was recorded for the first time to the Flora of Iraq in Basrah Province, Iraq. Its morphological characteristics have been described with photos; as well as a taxonomical key has been suggested to separate it from other species of Heliotropium that grow in Basrah Province. The geographical distribution of the species was determined, and the results showed that it was grown in five different locations along the southern parts of Shatt Al-Arab. Pollen morphology and anatomy of leaves were studied by using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which showed that the species has psilate and hexa-heterocolpate pollen grains, and the leaves were glabrous with anomocytic and hemiparacytic stomata.
