Morphological and anatomical study was carried out on Conocarpus lancifolius to show its charectars and properties . Leaves were simple , peteoled , primary vein arises up and downward the leaf . Epidermis covered with non- glandular simple hairs and glandular multicellular hairs . Heads were crowded , green – yellow coloured .Pollen was small , psilate and tricolporate . Leaf , petiole and stem cells were highly tanniniferous with numerous druses . Mesophyll was isobilateral having water storage tissue .Peteole contain one central boat – shaped vascular bundle with tow lateral traces . In stem vascular bundle or cylindrical was bicollateral . Non – hairy excreting structures exist at the lower surface of the leaf as well as several nectaries at the distal part of peteole and leaf margins. | ||
