Two potted plants of Bougainvillea were obtained from a local nursery to explore their anatomical features using a variety of microscopical methods and stains.
Various anatomical structures revealed were consistent with previous literature and these features were related to the natural habitat and established internal and external defences of the plant.
Results confirmed that the Bougainvillea is, in fact, a dicotyledonous plant that has evolved defensive features that permit its survival in hot and dry environments. Results indicated that features such as woody spines, the crystal inclusions in cells and the anomalous growth pattern are relatively unique to this species and important for its survival against predators

5E. Close up of epidermal peel of the abaxial surface of the leaf illustrating the guard cells (GC) of the stomatal complex and pavement cells (PC) of the epidermis. The stomatal complex lacked obvious subsidiary cells.
5F and G.. Nail polish impressions of the abaxial and adaxial leaf surfaces illustrate that stomatal complexes exist only on the abaxial surface (ovals, 5F) . Pavement cells of the abaxial surface have the shape of jigsaw puzzle pieces, whereas those on the adaxial surface (PC) are more regular in shape.
