Abstract:
The endothecium in 22 species of Inula L., and its allied genera (Pentanema Cass., Duhaldea DC., Dittrichia Greuter and Iphiona Cass.) was examined from Pakistan and Kashmir by light microscopy. Three types of endothecial tissues i.e., polar, radial and transitional are recognized. In the genus Inula radial and transitional endothecium are present whereas, in the genera Pentanema, Dittrichia and lphiona is radial while the genus Duhaldea is characterized by polar endothecium.
