Abstract
Investigations of the structural details of leaf surfaces (of all spec ies) and the internal leaf structure (of seven species) of African Bul bine Wolf revealed several interesting characters. Structures of diagn ostic importance include striae, papillae, stomata, chlorenchyma and v ascular tissues. The information accumulated is of particular value in demarcating species, but no correlation between these characters and infra-generic groupings was found.
