Variations in the epidermal structure of stomata and presence of trichomes amongst V. tortilis in nine different stations selected along the study site were investigated. In this study leaves of V. tortilis were found to be hypostomatic. The epidermal cell revealed a polygonal structure only. Anticlinal walls were either straight or curved. Trichomes recorded showed a nonglandular unicellular conical shape. Stomata types observed were paracytic and anisocytic with single subsidiary cell. In comparison the frequency of epidermal cells was higher than that of guard cells. Stomatal index and frequencies of stomata and epidermal cells were also recorded and compared.enEpidermal structureStomataUCTDAnticlinal wallsVachellia tortilisEpidermal structure of stomata and trichomes of vachella tortilis (FORSSK.) galasso and banfiArticleMashile SP, Tshisikhawe MP.
