| Summary: | The importance of studying the features of the prickles and hairs within the Solanum genus is unanimously acknowledged. In the present work 12 taxa have been examined, thus revealing the presence, density and micro morphological features of the epidermal appendages. The observed features of the eglandular hairs underline their diversity, the analysis focusing on aspects concerning the stellate type. The morphological observations can be of use in the taxonomy of the genus, as it is apparent from the key for identification elaborated based on the highlighted features. |
