Five species of Poaceae were collected: Briza minor L., Briza
maxima L., Setaria viridis (L.) P.B., Setaria verticillata (L.)
P.B., and Eleusine indica Gaertn., Fruct. Sem. Pl. which
recorded for the first time in the Flora of Syria. Peels from
a
daxial and abaxial leaf surfaces were prepared and stained
with the safranin . The results showed a clearly differences in
these sides: existence or absence of the epidermal elements,
their shapes and their measurements among the species from
one side, and between adaxial and abaxial leaf surface for the
same one from the other side.
