Figure 16. 1-8. Fossil and extant Notothixos sp. (Viscaceae). 1. CUT-Z-FGJ, TLM view showing stomatal complexes and branching trichomes (SL1202, scale-bar = 50 µm); 2. CUT-Z-FGJ, TLM detail of single stomatal complex (SL1202, scale-bar = 20 µm); 3. CUT-Z-FGJ, TLM detail of single stomatal complex (SL1202, scale-bar = 20 µm); 4. CUT-Z-FGJ, SEM view of inner cuticular surface showing a single stomatal complex. Note W-shaped depressions at either end of guard cell cuticle which reflect where the guard cells turned sharply outwards (S-1379, scale-bar = 10 µm); 5. CUT-Z-FGJ, SEM view of outer cuticular surface showing a depressed stomatal complex in the centre. The outer stomatal ledges do not project above the surrounding epidermal cells. Branched trichomes are to right and below. (S-1205, scale-bar = 20 µm); 6. CUT-Z-FGJ, SEM view of outer cuticular surface showing many branched trichomes (S-1205, scale-bar = 100 µm); 7. Extant Notothixos subaureus, SEM view of inner surface showing a single stomatal complex (AQ609212, scale-bar = 10 µm); 8. Extant N. subaureus, SEM view of outer surface showing branched trichomes and a rare instance of unobscured stomatal complexes (AQ609212, scale-bar = 20 µm).
