Abstract
The present paper deals with the epidermal structure and ontogeny of stomata for four species of the Zygophyllaceae and Simarubaceae. The mature stomata are anomocytic, paracytic, perigenous and with a single subsidiary cell. Abnormalities noticed here are contiguous stomata and stomata with a single guard cell. The development of paracytic stomata and stomata with a single subsidiary cell is mesogenous type, while that of anomocytic stomata resembles perigenous type. Six types of glandular and eglandular trichomes have been observed. The structure and ontogeny of stomata is similar in the species investigated. Balanites is more closely related to the Zygophyllaceae than Simarubaceae.
