Here, we studied leaflets of 18 taxa of the Dolentes-Brevipedes taxonomic complex, focusing on micromorphology, type, shape and density of trichomes. Within the non-glandular trichomes, we described three types of ...

We studied leaflets of 18 taxa of the genus Mimosa, specifically the Dolentes-Brevipedes taxonomic complex, focusing on micromorphology, type, shape, and density of trichomes. Within the nonglandular trichomes we described ...
