Abstract:
The present article is comprised of morphological studies on two medicinally important plants belonging to family Molluginaceae. Morphologically, the characters of leaves, stems, roots, fruits and seeds were observed .The plants were found to be well adapted to the local environment of sandy & rocky habitat. Some specific morphological adaptations were observed in both plants as a result of environmental & habitat stress.
Keywords:
Medicinal plant, Morphology, Molluginaceae, Habitat, Abaxial, Channels.
