New Report of Vessel Elements in Aleuritopteris and Cheilanthes
Investigations in the tracheary elements of rhizomes, roots and stipes of four cheilanthoid ferns from two genera viz. Aleuritopteris albomarginata, A. bicolor, A. rufa and Cheilanthes tenuifolia have been made both through maceration followed by light microscopic study and longitudinal sections thr...
