The paper presents the micromorphological features of culm epidermis of 26
bamboo species occurring in Bangladesh. Different attributes of long cells, silica
bodies, cork cells, stomata, papillae and dermal appendages are provided in a table.
The study reveals that these micromorphological characters have taxonomic value at
species level. But due to homogeneity any delimitation cannot be defined at
supraspecific level.
The paper also provides an identification key to 26 bamboo species occurring in
Bangladesh, based on culm epidermal characters.
The paper describes the gross and minute anatomical properties of Helicia
excelsa Blume (Proteaceae) and Vernonia arborea Buch. – Ham. (Compositae). It also
provides their probable uses based on anatomical properties.
