EPIDERMAL STUDIES OF Ocimum sanctum AND Ocimum gratissimum

COMPARATIVE EPIDERMAL STUDIES OF Ocimum sanctum (L.) AND Ocimum gratissimum (L.) OBTAINED FROM UNIVERSITY OF UYO

ABSTRACT In traditional systems of medicine, different parts of Ocimum have been recommended for the treatment of bronchitis, malaria, diarrhea, dysentery, skin diseases and insect bite. Epidermal characters play a vital role in plant identification and classification. In present study, comparative epidermal evaluation was performed for the flesh leaves of selected species of Ocimum such
