Abstract: 

The ecological importance of the EFNs and their interaction with insects, have motivated many authors to study the morphology, distribution and frequency of these structures in different plant taxa. The diversity in nectar shape and location taxonomically valuable in addition to their ecological role in plant insect interactions and hence in the present study the location of the gland size and shape and micro- morphological characteristics of Cassia alata are examined and presented with relevant images.
