SEM study of leaf surfaces are increasingly used in taxonomy for improving the classification and circumscription of taxa. An investigation of leaf surfaces of 12 taxa of the family verbenaceae collected from Peshawar, Pakistan was conducted to analyze and document the taxonomic implications. The aim of the present study was to recognize some useful diagnostic features that may be used as tools for their delimitation. The results indicate that all the species and varieties (with the exception) have stomata situated exclusively on the abaxial leaf surface (hypostomatic). Most...
