    Anatomical studies of the aerial stem, rhizome, leaf sheath and root of elettaria Cardamomum (Maton)
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1977) Mercy, S T; Luckins, C Babu; Mary, K George
    The detailed anatomy of the aerial stem, rhizome, leaf sheath and root of cardamom is studied in the present investigation. The aerial shoot has a typical monocotyledonous stem known as 'culm' with nodes and inter-nodes protected by long sheathing leaf bases. In the rhizome the nodes and internodes are crowded together. It can be differentiated from the aerial stem due to the presence of scale leaves and adventitious roots. The aerial stem, rhizome, leaf sheath and root have typical monocotyledonous anatomy.
