Abstract
Epidermal cells, hair and stomatal characters studied in the leaves of 15 Egyptian Bauhinia species using both light and scanning electron microscopes. Variations in epidermal shapes, periclinal and anticlinal walls investigated. Hair density, type and wall ornamentation are considerably varied between the studied taxa. Type of stomata, stomatal index and density gave valuable variations between the studied taxa. The results have been discussed according to the taxonomic opinions and support the division of the Bauhinia species into two subgenera with five sections. Identification key according to hair density, type and wall ornamentations beside the type of stomata has been constructed.
