Stomatal density and distribution as well as leaf polarity in N. khasiana leaf. a-e, SEM photomicrographs of the abaxial surfaces of the different parts/zones of the N. khasiana leaf (stomata are indicated by white arrow). f-j, light micrographs cross sections of the five different parts/zones of the N. khasiana leaf (P: palisade parenchyma; S: spongy parenchyma; arrow head denotes digestive glands; black arrow shows the lunate cells; nectary gland is indicated by an asterisk). a, f - leaf base; b, g - tendril; c, h - digestive zone; d, i - waxy zone; e, j - lid. f-j, bar = 50 μm
