Taxonomic importance of anticlinal walls and stomata patterning in some Melastoma l. Species from Fraser Hill
The epidermal characteristics of five selected Melastoma L. species in Fraser Hill, Pahang that belongs to Melastomataceae family had been investigated. These five species namely M. muticum Ridl., M. decemfidum Roxb., M. perakense Ridl., M. sanguineum x malabathricum and M. malabathricum var. no...

| description | The epidermal characteristics of five selected Melastoma L. species in Fraser Hill, Pahang that belongs to
Melastomataceae family had been investigated. These five species namely M. muticum Ridl., M. decemfidum
Roxb., M. perakense Ridl., M. sanguineum x malabathricum and M. malabathricum var. normale. The objective
of this study is to determine whether epidermal characteristics in Melastoma could be taxonomic value in
systematic and diagnostic investigations. Methods of the investigation involved epidermal peel and scanning
electron microscopy. Results obtained revealed that the presence of hypostomatic stomata and guard cells
pairs were elliptic in shaped for all species studied. Apart, the pattern of anticlinal walls on adaxial and abaxial
surfaces was straight to wavy for all species studied except for wavy to sinuous anticlinal walls on abaxial
surface of M. sanguineum x malabathricum. Furthermore, two types of stomata were observed among species
studied such as anomocytic and diacytic stomata. Results showed that diacytic type was only present in M.
sanguineum x malabathricum therefore could be a criterion to diagnose the species. Lastly, this present study
was also reported on the presence of two types of guard cell pairs such as raised or slightly raised and sunken
guard cell pairs. In conclusion, the present study revealed that the anticlinal walls and stomata patterning
possess as taxonomic importance in identification and classification of Melastoma either at genus or species
level. |
