Abstract

Epidermal structure and development of stomata in vegetative and floral organs of Fagonia cretica are described.

The mature stomata are anomocytic, paracytic and with a single subsidiary cell.

Contiguous stomata and arrested development are noticed.

The ontogeny of paracytic stomata is syndetocheilic or mesogenous and that of anomocytic is haplocheilic or perigenous.

The ontogeny of stomata on different organs of this species follows a similar course.

Simple unicellular and capitate glandular trichomes have been observed.
