Abstract

The comparative anatomy of leaf epidermis in 10 taxa of the genus Merremia (Convolvulaceae)

hederacea (Burm.f.) Hallier f., M. hirta (L.) Merr, M. cf. hirta (L.) Merr, M. subsessilis Courchet & Gagnep., M.
cf. tonkinensis (Gagnep.) N.T. Nhan, M. umbellata (L.) Hallier f. and M. vitifolia (Burm.f.) Hallier f. by epidermal

identifi cation of the studied species. Six taxa are the fi rst time report.
