Identification of Tacca Chantrieri (dioscoreaceae) through anatomical and morphological characters / Nor Nafizah Mohd Noor ... [et al.]

Anatomy and morphological characters were employed to identify four samples of Tacca sp. (Belimbing Tanah) from different localities in Perak. Anatomical characters including leaf epidermal characters, leaf venation, type of stomata and trichomes were investigated through transverse sections, epide...
