杉科化石植物角质层的研究

Studies on Cuticle in Fossil Plants of Taxodiaceae

化石角质层是地质史上真正生活过的植物活体上的原物，其表皮细胞和气孔的特征以及气孔的分布与排列可作为杉科植物属种分类的依据．本文简要讨论了角质层在杉科化石植物研究上的重要性．

Fossil cuticle is the natural structure of living plants in geological history. The morphological features of epidermis cells and stomata,with the distribution and arrangement of stomata can be as taxonomical criteria of species and genus in Taxodiaceae plants. The importance of cuticle in studies of Taxodiaceae fossil plants was discussed here.
