The objective is to explore the micromorphological structures in selected Anoectochilus species, focusing on trichome diversity and peloria in A. papuanus.
Conducted a qualitative survey with single specimens of A. papuanus, A. formosanus, and A. regalis.
Examined floral and vegetative structures using scanning electron microscopy.
Documented trichomes, stomata, and papillae on flowers, leaves, and inflorescence rachis.
Identified three trichome types: oblate, pyriform, and conical, with A. papuanus showing the highest diversity.
A. regalis exhibited only oblate trichomes due to preservation issues preventing thorough examination.
Stomata included actinocytic, desmocytic, and pericytic types, with unique characteristics observed in A. papuanus labellum.
