HISTOLOGY OF A XEROPHYTIC LEAFLET: CYCAS CIRCINALIS AND CYCAS REVOLUTA (CYCADACEAE) [PDF]
Cycas, a primitive gymnosperm is currently facing extinction since the stem produces a starch like substance called sago, also called as sago palm. Cycads are xerophytic as they require scanty water even more drought tolerant. This study compares the leaflet micromorphological characters as a taxonomic tool to independently identify two Indian Cycad ...
