Background/Objectives: Some of the anatomical characters are liable to become modification in response to environmental change; however, many characters are more fixed genetically and such characters are to be employed for taxonomic studies. For distinguishing two species, differences in the anatomical structures usually provide much reliable grounds for identification.
Methods/Statistical Analysis: For anatomical studies the customary techniques of sectioning and staining will be followed. It is aimed to collect data of anatomical characters of easily available plant parts such as leaf, petiole, stem and ischolar_main. It is hoped that these studies will enable anybody to identify the plants concerned in the sterile or fragmentary conditions.
Findings: Anatomical structure is most likely to provide evidence concerning the interrelationships to families or in establishing the real affinities of genera of uncertain taxonomic status.
Application/Improvements: Microscopical studies are also very essential tool to establish the botanical identity of commercial samples of medicinal value and may also aid in checking adulteration or substitution. Apart from anatomical studies, palynological investigation is also to be attempted. This will give additional information both for diagnosis of the plants and for confirmation of their taxonomic position.
