Foliar anatomical studies of Andropogon gayanus - Andropogon tectorum complex in Southwestern Nigeria

Abstract: Foliar epidermal studies were carried out on accessions of Andropogon gayanus-Andropogon tectorum complex collected in Southwestern Nigeria with a view to providing additional characters of the two species of Andropogon to enhance the understanding of the taxonomic relationship between the two species. The epidermal preparation of the adaxial and abaxial surfaces of the leaf blade was made from the median part of well-matured leaf samples by the scrapping method. The analysis of both qualitative and quantitati… Show more

“…It can also be found in marshy areas and riparian zones and has tolerance to major seasonal floods. It is notably absent from the central African rainforest (Foster 1962;Bowden 1964;Ojo et al 2021; Royal Andropogon gayanus displays variation in reproductive characters, leading some authors to split them into varieties (Stapf 1919;Bor 1960;Foster 1962). In this study we refer to the varieties in the sense of Stapf (1919).…”
