Stomata on Seeds and Fruits of Bauhinia (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae)

Abstract: Seeds of 45 species of Bauhinia (Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae) were studied by scanning electron microscopy. Seeds of eight species have stomata which are mostly normal in appearance but lack subsidiary cells and are slightly recessed. Varying degrees of distortion or obscuring cuticular deposits were found in some species. This is the first unambiguous report of stomata on seeds of Leguminosae. Fruits of two of the eight species were also examined. Raised stomata with conspicuous subsidiary cells were found … Show more

“…. The petals, stamens, and gynoecium in certain species bear an unusual kind of inflated, bifid, multicellular trichome, in addition to the more common filamentous, uniseriate, multicellular hairs found in many Bauhinia species (Rugenstein & Lersten, 1981). This inflated bifid trichome has been overlooked in most compendia of hair-types although Metcalfe & Chalk (1950), and Uphof (1962) reiterated the original notation of Solereder ( 1908) that 'boat-shaped' trichomes, possibly secretory in nature, were present on leaves of B. bongardii Steud.…”

“…SEM micrographs are given in Figure 1. The micrographs of sample PP20 show that its surface is embossed and smooth with several pores which are attributed to stomata (Rugenstein and Lersten, 1981). SEM images of sample PP120 are characterized by an ordered system of dead cells of the covering tissue.…”
