Abstract/Summary
Four species of the family Fabaceae namely, Bauhinia purpurea L. (alibangbang), Caesalpinia pulcherrima L. (caballero), Samanea saman Jacq. (acacia/rain tree), and Tamarindus indica L. (sampaloc), were analyzed using epidermal imprints of their adaxial and abaxial surfaces to compare and classify their stomata in terms of stomatal configurations, length of guard cells, and distribution.B. purpurea and C. pulcherrima were found to have an anomycytic type of stomatal configuration while S.saman and T. indica were found to have stomatal configurations of the paracytic type. The average length of the guard cells in the abaxial surface of the leaves examined were longer that the length of guard cells in the adaxial surface. The average number of stomata on the abaxial surface outnumbered the number of stomata on the adaxial surface.
