Hepatics used as teaching material.

Hepatics belonging to the order Jungermanniales are widely used as teaching material for studying plant cells. This paper describes the procedure for staining hepatic leaves to enhance the important structures in the cells. The hepatics which have been tested are Scapania sp., Plagiochila sp. and Porella platyphylla. Staining with KI3 solution and Methylene Blue solution is described, as well as the structures which are visible in the material after staining.
