| Description | The leaf blade anatomy of Urochlaena pusilla Nees is described and illustrated. The transectional anatomy is non- Kranz with diffuse but uniformly distributed chlorenchyma. The abaxial epidermis has dome-shaped stomata, dumbbellshaped silica bodies, elongated finger-like microhairs, and cushion-based macrohairs may or may not be present. This type of arundinoid anatomy closely resembles that o f Tribolium Desv., Chaetobromus Nees, Schismus Beauv., and certain species of Pentaschistis Stapf. Urochlaena pusilla is very similar to Tribolium utriculosum (Nees) Renv. in leaf anatomy and these two species appear to be closely related. | |
