Summary

The compilation of new data on stomatal ontogeny from the literature and the finding of a rather unknown type inMarcgravia have shown the need of a new classification of the ontogenetic types of stomata. Pant (1965) recognized 10 main types; this number is now enlarged to 26 and a modified terminology is chosen. From the name of each type not only the ontogenetical pattern but also the morphological nature of the adult stoma can be deduced. Thus the gap between morphological and ontogenetical classifications has been bridged.

Two important differences from Pant’s classification and definitions are introduced.

In this classification any other new type can be included; all the possibilities for the introduction of supplementary data are left open.
