Abstract

In the present investigation A effect of automobile exhausts on the leaf epidermal features of some members of Apocynaceae. The present experimental study were recorded the stomatal frequency, stomatal index, Length, Breadth and epidermal frequency for both surfaces i.e. Abaxial (Lower) & Adaxial (upper) surface for both side i.e.Garden & road side species.Selected plant species are Alstonia scholaris (L.) R.Br, Catharanthus roseus (L.) G.Don Variety (Pink), Catharanthus roseus (L.) G.Don Variety (White),Carissa carandas(L.),Nerium oleander (L.)Variety (Red),Nerium oleander (L.)Variety (Pink) ,Nerium oleander (L.)Variety (White),Plumeria alba (L.) ,Tabernaemontana divaricata (L.) R.Br, Thevetia neriifolia Juss.
