Abstract:
Conocarpus erectus L. belongs to family Combretaceae. Combretaceae plants range in size beginning tall timber trees and lianes. It is short shrubs. Botton wood plant, multi-trunked, shrubby, evergreen tree with low branches. Leaves are evergreen, alternating, thick and leathery, with an entire margin. It’s oval in shape but mixed up to 4 inches long and 2 inches wide, green and glabrous above and below and consume an entire margin. The current study to examine the anatomical modifications in C.erectus L. from different region of Faisalabad was conducted. That research includes the leaf and stem anatomical modifications to explore the various ecotype of C. erectus. Stem and leaf covered with thick epidermis layer to conserve water in dry conditions. Leaves have condensed outer epidermal wall including adaxial hypodermis and have dorsiventral amphistomatic and isobilateral. The cell of the lower epidermis of leaf was greater than upper to overcome water shortage. The larger epidermis thickness is present in dry habibtat to protect the plant from shortage of water. The stem is circular in form and larger Metaylem area was found in salinity area. The larger numbers of stomata are found on the abaxial surface to conserve water in harsh conditions. Significant responses were obtained when we were performed analysis of variance (ANOVA).
