The morphological, anatomical, histochemical studies including preliminary chemical and fluorescence analysis of the powders of leaf and stem is presented. Leaves are amphistomatic with papillate margins, Venation is palmate-acrodromous. Mesophyll ls undifferentiated. Stem is quadrangular with hypodermal collenchyma abundant in the ridges, -Vascular tissue is in the form of continuous ring with parenchymatous
pith in the centre. Total ash is 23.35% of which 8.5% is acid insoluble and water soluble is 2.5%. Successive extractive values in different solvents and their reaction to various test reagents is given. |
