Abstract

Anatomy of 19 species (26 samples) of the genus Curcuma in Northeastern Thailand were studied by
epidermal peeling of both adaxial and abaxial surfaces. Type, length and density of trichome, tannin can be used
as supplementary characters for identifi cation of the Curcuma species. In the present study leaf surface anatomy
of 14 species of Curcuma were recorded for the fi rst time.
