&description=Aim: To assist as a relevant source of information and contribute towards the standards to dispose the quality and identity of the studied plants to avoid adulterations. Morpho-anatomical characters of seven plants from the sub class (Asteridae) <i>Solanum dubium</i>, <i>Datura innoxia</i> and <i>Datura stramonium</i> family (Solanaceae), <i>Solenostemma argel, Calotropis procera, Leptadenia arborea</i> family (Asclepiadaceae) and <i>Convolvulus arvensis</i> family (Convolvolaceae) were studied. Radar shape for morphological leaf characters (leaf length, leaf width, leaf apex angle and leaf base angle) was used. Standard method of double staining technique used for anatomical studies. The results shown in tables and plates. The leaves of the plants from the same family have the same radar structure which mean that these plants are similar in their leaf morphology. Two stomatal types were distinguished anomocytic type in <i>S. dubium, S. argel, C. procera</i> and <i>L. arborea</i> while the anisocytic type was found in the two <i>Datura</i> species and <i>C. arvensis</i>. Trichomes were classified into Stellate non-glandular and Simple non-glandular. Mesophyll typed into two features, isobilateral in <i>S. dubium, S. argel</i> and <i>C. arvensis</i>, dorsiventral in the rest. The vascular bundles were bicollateral crescent-shaped in all species studied while it was collateral in <i>C. arvensis</i> only. This study suggested that the observed morph anatomical characters are of great value in quality control and formulation development of the plant studied.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/980.jpg)
