ABSTRACT Anatomical studies of Rauvolfia vomitoria was carried out using standard procedure. Upper surface (adaxial) and lower surface (abaxial), showed the following features which include: irregular and polygonal epidermal cell shapes respectively, Anomocytic stomatal type on abaxial surface and none on the adaxial surface. The trichome is absent on both surfaces. The stomatal distribution for…

ABSTRACT Using standard method of analysis, bioaccumulation  factor of gastropods from Ayadeghe beach showed T. fuscatus. Zn(0.73) >Ni (0.60) >Cr (0.19) >Cd(0.07) > Pb(nil); E. radiata; Zn (0.33) > Cd(0.07) >Cr (0.06) > Ni (0.03) > Pb (Nil). Zn was noticed to have highest B.F and all the value were below 1. Heavy metal pollution…

ABSTRACT M. cola is a well known traditional medicinal plants that belongs to the family Malvaceae. The research work is to determine epidermal characteristics of M. cola. The results obtained for the abaxial and adaxial surface were amphistomatic distribution of stomata, anisocytic stomata and the epidermal cell shape was irregular. The identification is commonly based…
