Transverse sections of leaf blades of Streptochaeta sodirwna (ax) and Anomochloa marantoidea (d-g) (in all cases the adaxial epidermis faces upwards): S. sodirwna (Soderstrom 1205): a, characteristic midrib with its complex vasculature; b, detail of fusoid cell and primary vascular bundle in the lamina: c, detail of lamina showing minor vascular bundle, fusoid cells, and primary vascular bundle. A. marantoidea (Calderon et al. 2381, Brazil): d, section of lamina showing minor vascular bundle, fusoid cells, and primary vascular bundle; e,g, midrib section from a robust leaf, showing characteristic shape and complex vasculature;f, section of lamina including midrib, cut from a small leaf. Scale bar: a,c-e = 100 µm; b = 50 µm; f= 200 µm; g = 250 µm.
