Abstract

An overview on morphotaxonomic observations of juvenile stages and seedlings in 3 species of Leucas upto 5th leaf stages have been enumerated in the present paper. Morphological features of seedling like collet, hypocotyl, epicotyl, shape and arrangement of paracotyledons, leaf base, colour, phyllotaxy, number of veins etc. show affinity represent high level of constansy within taxon. These characters and features of seedlings have been found useful from taxonomic point of view in solving taxonomic problems, identification, conservation and eradication of taxa at juvenile stage.
