Abstract

Anatomy of the petiole of Vitex negundo is investigated. It is naturally distributed in many parts of Maharashtra and Marathwada. In this study the aim was to investigate the anatomical characters of rachis and petiole of this economical important plant species. As a result of study, it was discovered that the mechanical tissue in the form collenchyma or sclerenchyma occurs in petiole and Petiolule. The xylem elements are additionally mechanical in function. The vascular tissue in the form of distinct bundles or an arc shaped strand is observed.
