          Abstract

          Raddia é um gênero de bambus herbáceos que inclui nove espécies ocorrentes no Brasil, uma delas encontrada também em áreas extra-brasileiras. A anatomia foliar de todas as espécies foi analisada em microscopia óptica e microscopia eletrônica de varredura, visando à obtenção de caracteres úteis para sua taxonomia. Espécies de outros gêneros de bambus herbáceos foram utilizadas para comparação. Não foram encontrados caracteres anatômicos exclusivos de Raddia, e os mesmos foram pouco relevantes para a delimitação das espécies dentro do gênero, separando às vezes, apenas grupos de espécies. Entre estes caracteres, destacaram-se, em corte transversal: forma da nervura central, posição do feixe vascular mediano, número de feixes vasculares adjacentes ao feixe mediano e a forma das células fusóides. A análise da epiderme em vista frontal (MEV) mostrou diferenças entre as espécies quanto à ocorrência, densidade e distribuição de papilas. Raddia megaphylla R.P. Oliveira & Longhi-Wagner e R. guianensis (Brongn.) Hitchc. & Chase apresentaram maior número de caracteres anatômicos exclusivos, entre as espécies estudadas. Um tipo de tricoma não registrado anteriormente para Bambusoideae foi encontrado em R. stolonifera R.P. Oliveira & Longhi-Wagner.

          Translated abstract

          Raddia is an herbaceous bamboo genus with nine species in Brazil, one of which extends beyond Brazilian borders. The leaf anatomy of these species was analyzed using optical and scanning electron microscopy, in order to obtain useful characters for the taxonomy of the genus. Other herbaceous bamboos were used for comparison and no characters exclusive to Raddia were found. Leaf anatomy traits had little to do with species delimitation within the genus, sometimes separating only groups of species. Of these traits, the most important were as follows, in transverse section: form of the midrib, position of the intermediate vascular bundle, number of vascular bundles adjacent to the intermediate bundle and form of the fusoid cells. A surface view of the epidermis (SEM) showed differences among the species as regards occurrence, density and distribution of the papillae. Raddia megaphylla R.P. Oliveira & Longhi-Wagner and R. guianensis (Brongn.) Hitchc. & Chase had the largest number of exclusive characters of the species studied. A type of trichome unknown in Bambusoideae was recorded for R. stolonifera R.P. Oliveira & Longhi-Wagner.

            R Ellis (1979)
            Descriptive “keys”, including definitions and explanatory diagrams, are given for the standardization and simplification of anatomical descriptions of the epidermides of grass leaf blades as seen in surface view. About 340 characters of the epidermis are included with ample room for expansion. Notes on variation and taxonomic importance of the characters are also included.

              A procedure for standardizing comparative leaf anatomy in the Poaceae. I. The leaf-blade as viewed in transverse section

              R Ellis (1976)
              Descriptive “keys”, including definitions and diagrams, for standardizing and simplifying the description of grass leaf structure as seen in transverse section are given. Over 500 characters are included with the possibility for expansion to 999. Notes on variation and taxonomic importance of the characters are also included.
