ABSTRACT
Foliar Epidermal Study of Codiaeum variegatum (A. Juss) species was carried out using standard anatomical procedure. The genus is a family of Euphorbiaceae. The study showed epidermal cell of both surfaces are similar in shape, adaxial epidermal cells was distinctively irregular, stomata was more abundant on the abaxial surface, trichomes were absent on both surfaces.
