The leaf is of zygostomic type and has about 430 stomata per square milimeter of abaxial leaf surface. The stomatal complex is of the anomocytic type. The guard cells protrude from the epidermal plane. The guard cell nucleus contains heterochromatin in small granules. The guard cell cytoplasm is characterised by a large number of well developed mitochondria, amyloplasts with stroma and grana, and a well developed cytoskeleton with a cortical array of microtubules oriented pa railed to the slit axis that persist even in mature cells. Guard cell walls are asymmetrically thickened and devoid of plasmodesmata. No area of cell walls was free of cuticle or covered by a thin cuticular layer and apparently no area of limited cuticular development provides evaporation when the stomata are closed.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
