TY - JOUR AU - CHAPHEKAR,, MRIGAWATI AB - Abstract Characters of the internal cuticle surface of 82 species of Pinaceae (ranging over nine genera) have been investigated using both light and SEM. Considerable variation is demonstrated in details of the intercellular flanges and in the fine sculpturing of the periclinal surface. Nine different sculpturing patterns are recognized. There is systematic value in this character; species within genera can usually be distinguished on the basis of cuticle structure, except in Cedrus and Larix.
