Authors(2) :-S. Surya, N. Hari
The present studies were carried out the anatomical features of selected true mangroves in Kerala. In Avicennia marina, Avicennia officinalis and Excoecaria agallocha the presence of phloem seen as islands it gives an impression of growth rings. In both the species of Acanthus frequently associated sclereids in phloem and large vessel compare to other species and helical thickening were present. Among Rhizophoraceae all members showed homogeneity in characters like scalariform perforation plates, air cavities in cortex, presence of sclereids, multicellular heterogenous rays and presence of crystalliferous cells. Inter-vessel pitting of all the members were alternate except Rhizophoraceae, it possess scalariform pitting.
