Anita Jeph, Assistant Professor of Botany, Govt Girl's College, Jhunjhunu Exp 1 T.s of Nerium leaf + Exp 2 Triticum stem Ivertum T.s. of Leaf Transverse section of the material shows following Epidermis : (i) Both sides are covered by upper and lower epidermis. (ii) Both the epidermal layers are multiseriate that are about three cells deep. (iii) Stomata are present on lower epidermis. Figure 9.3. 2: Cross section of a hydrophytic leaf. Observe a prepared slide of a hydrophyte, such as Nymphaea, commonly called a water lily. Note the thin epidermal layer and the absence of stomata in the lower epidermis. In the spongy mesophyll, there are large pockets where air can be trapped. Like the stem, the leaf contains vascular bundles composed of xylem and phloem (Figure 3.4.2.6 − 7 3.4.2. 6 − 7 ). When a typical stem vascular bundle (which has xylem internal to the phloem) enters the leaf, xylem usually faces upwards, whereas phloem faces downwards. The conducting cells of the xylem (tracheids and vessel elements.

Nerium oleander (/ ˈ n ɪər i ə m. / NEER-ee-əm), most commonly known as oleander or nerium, is a shrub or small tree cultivated worldwide in temperate and subtropical areas as an ornamental and landscaping plant.It is the only species currently classified in the genus Nerium, belonging to subfamily Apocynoideae of the dogbane family Apocynaceae.It is so widely cultivated that no. ABSTRACT The present study reports the morphology and anatomy of the leaves of two well known medicinal plants in Sudan; Nerium oleander and Catharanthus roseus family (Apocynaceae). Morphologically, the two studied species have green leaves with entire margins, acute apex and reticulate venation. Nerium (oleander) - an example of a xeromorphic leaf: Oleander is a plant adapted to dry environments, hence the term, xeromorphic (xer- is a prefix that denotes "dry." It is the same prefix used in Xerox, the company that developed the dry copying process). Again note that the leaf is broad and flat, hence, adapted to optimize photosynthesis.

ANATOMY OF NERIUM LEAF Nerium is a Non sacculent xerophytic shrub. T.S. of Nerium leaf shows the following anatomical structures :- 1. UpperEpidermis:-Epidermis is composed of 2-3 layers of compactly arranged barrel shaped parenchyma cells. With thick cuticle on its outer surface. Stomata are absent. 2. Article shared by : In this article we will discuss about the anatomical features of xerophytes with the help of suitable diagrams. They grow in deserts or in very dry places; they may withstand a prolonged period of drought uninjured, for this purpose they have certain peculiar adaptations.
A leaf in "normal" conditions is called mesophytic (meso- means middle), meaning it is not particularly adapted for either high or low water conditions. Figure 13.3.1.1 13.3.1. 1: A cross section through a mesophytic leaf. The arrangement of tissues in a mesophytic leaf is as described in Fig. 13.3.2. As you look at adaptations to water.

1. Pinus is a large, perennial, evergreen plant. 2. Branches grow spirally and thus the plant gives the appearance of a conical or pyramidal structure. ADVERTISEMENTS: 3. Sporophytic plant body is differentiated into roots, stem and acicular (needle-like) leaves (Fig. 26). 4. A tap root with few root hair is present but it disappears soon. The T.S. view of Nerium leaf shows the following layers of tissues: ADVERTISEMENTS: 1. Epidermis: Both upper and lower epidermal layers are multiseriate. They are composed of a few layers of compactly arranged isodiametric colourless cells. Both the epidermal layers are very strongly cuticularised.
