An investigation on study of adaxial and abaxial epidermal layers of the jasmine (Jasminum sambac cv. Gundumalli) flower petals through scanning electron microscope (SEM) was carried out at Department of Floriculture and Landscaping, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during 2011–12. In this study, the epidermal cell types and their distribution on abaxial and adaxial surface, trichome and stomatal availability on sepals of Jasminum sambac cv. Gundumalli were investigated using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the systematic significance of these characters was evaluated. The major epidermal type like papillose conical cells with striations (PCS) on the adaxial surface and tabular rugose cells (TRS) on the abaxial surface were recognized on the petal surface. Floral stomata was present on the abaxial surface and trichomes are absent on both the surface.
