Abstract
The cuticle, epidermis and stomatal ontogeny of Casuarina equisetifolia Forst. is described. The cuticle shows well marked impressions of the epidermal cells and stomata. The epidermis of leaf and stem shows transversely oriented, tetracytic, mesoperigenous stomata with two lateral mesogene subsidiaries and two polar perigene neighbouring cells. Although the epidermal structure of Casuarina shows a good deal of resemblance with that of the Bennettitales, it may not indicate any phylogenetic relationships since there are important differences in the structure and reproduction of the plants of these two groups.
