What is Nerium Leaf Anatomy and Characteristics about?
The document summarizes the anatomy of Nerium leaf. It notes that the leaf has a multiseriate epidermis with thick cuticle on both sides. The lower epidermis contains sunken stomata surrounded by trichomes, which help reduce water loss. Below the epidermis is a mesophyll layer with 2-3 layers of palisade parenchyma on both sides and spongy parenchyma in between. Calcium oxalate crystals and thick cuticle are xerophytic adaptations. The vascular bundles are collateral and closed.
