Abstract
Two anatomical features of leaves, transverse section of midribs and petioles, were examined for nine species of five genera of Thymelaeaceae, Daphne L. -4 spp., Diarthron Turcz. -1 sp., Edgeworthia Meisn. -1 sp., Stellera L. -1 sp., Wikstroemia Endl. -2 sp., using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. In terms of shape of upper side, three types were observed, i.e., flattened, depressed, and raised. Outline of petioles is mostly semi-circular or circular in transverse section, with two distinct wings/weakly developed wings or without wings. Other characters besides anatomical features of leaves such as vascular bundle tissues, crystal, tannin are also described in details. Finally, we briefly discussed the systematic significance of the anatomical features of leaves for identification of Korean Thymelaeaceae.
