ABSTRACT
The study investigated on the
comparative anatomy of the leaves and stems of six varieties of cocoyam. From
the result obtained from this investigation, it has shown that, there are
similarities in the stem ofthese varieties. The mesophyll ofthe lamina where
differentiated into palisade and parenchyma layer in all the varieties. While
there are various shape of epidermal cell observed in there epidermis. The
varieties of cocoyam investigated were observed to be hypostomatic while
JP/fND/152, NceOOl and Nsx Oil were amphistomatic. The epidermal cell walls
varied from straight to curve in all the varieties. The cortical cells of these
varieties were observed to vary from straight to circular, while some were
observed to be hexagonal in shape. These observations of anatomical properties
of these varieties will be a useful tool in the classification of different
varieties of cocoyam.
