Comparative Taxonomic Studies Of Mimosa Species (Leguminosae — Mimosoideae)
ABSTRACT
Morphological, anatomical,
palynological and histochemical investigations were carried out on three
species of mimosa — M. Pudica, M. invisa. And M. pigra. These studies were
carried out using a Leitz Wetzler ortholus contrast microscope filled with
Vivitar — V335 camera. The results obtained from the studies of epidermis
shoved variations in shape of cells, which varied from irregular to
rectangular. Also variations were observed in the epidermal cell walls, which
were straight-walled and sinus (wavy) in nature. The presence of raphides were
observed in M. pigra and the pollen of the species studied varied from circular
and round in M. pudica to oval-shaped in Al. invisa and Al. pigra. The
usefulness of these observations in understanding the characterization and differentiation
of the different species were highlighted.
