TL;DR: Plants of grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau showed typical characteristics to adapt to the alpine environments, such as thicker epidermal and mesophyll layers than plants in other areas, and thickness of leaf anatomical structures varied in different degrees.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between urban and rural selenite black crusts has been made with genetically identical ones encountered on gypsum outcrops in the area surrounding the same city, in a relatively clean rural environment.

TL;DR: The leaf epidermis of 14 Onosma L. species was examined by light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and found that these characters are variable in the genus but usually they are stable within a species.
Abstract: The leaf epidermis of 14 Onosma L. species was examined by light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The leaf characters studied showed some variations. Morphologic features of the epidermal cells such as shape, structure of the anticlinal walls, stomatal size, outer stomatal rims, peristomatal rims, and apertures were summarised in the examined taxa. It was found that these characters are variable in the genus but usually they are stable within a species. Epidermal cells of the investigated taxa are polygonal, elongated, or irregular. Anticlinal walls of the epidermal cells are generally straight to curved and repand. Apertures are long, ellipsoidal, and narrow. SEM studies in particular provided some useful information concerning the systematics of Onosma taxa.

TL;DR: The attributes of Nyctanthes are reviewed and found compatible with accommodation of the genus in the Oleaceae, tribe Jasmineae, and the treatment of this genus in Verbenaceae or as a separate does not reflect its true affinities.
Abstract: The attributes ofNyctanthes (habit, floral morphology, fruit and seed, stem and leaf anatomy, flower vasculature, embryology, pollen, chromosome number and phytochemistry) are reviewed and found compatible with accommodation of the genus in the Oleaceae, tribe Jasmineae. The treatment ofNyctanthes in Verbenaceae or as a separate does not reflect its true affinities.
