Macro-and micromorphology of Schinus terebinthifolius radd growing in Egypt

ABSTRACT

The chemical investigation of Schinus terebinthifolius Radd. was carried out and showed the possibility of its use in tanning of leather due to its use in tanning contents. In previous communications the macro- and micromorphology of the leaves, seems and flowers of Schinus terebinthifolius Radd. were carried out. The characters of the fruits and seeds of Anacardiaceae plants were reported by several authors, but nothing was reported dealing with those of Schinus terebinthifolius Radd. Therefore, it was found of interest to carry out such a study for the sake of the identification in both entire and powdered forms
