Foliar epidermal and anatomical characters of Citrus limon (Rutaceae) cultivated in Al-Marj (Libya)
الملخص
Epidermal and anatomical features of Citrus limon (L.) Osbeck, cultivated in Al-Marj city were studied. The goal of the current study is provide new characteristics for the identification and description of this species. Epeidemal characteristics such as a variety of cell shapes, hypostomatic, anamocytic stomata, contiguous stomata and mega stomata are important in distinguish C. limon. Mesophyll arrangement, the shape of vascular bundle, the presence of druses and secertory cavities these features have high taxonomic value at infrageneic level. We abserve glandular and non glandular trichomes in petiole. Trichomes have very important taxonomic values.
