Cytomorphology (2 Volumes)

Morphology includes both Exo as well as Endo Morphological characters. For Exo-Morphological characters we lay main stress on taxonoical characters. For Eudo-Morphological characters we are bound to study its anatonomical, Histological, Embrylogical and cytilogical characters. In this volume, author has given detailed account of the Anatomical and histological studies because in  potentilla  and  Sibbaldia hardly any anatomical investigation has been undertaken in the past except Metcalf and Chalk (1950) and by Khan (1977). Emphasis has been laid on development structure of venation, trichomes and stomata. This study appears to have a bearing on taxonomy of the genus.
