Ligustrum foliosum Nakai, a species endemic to South Korea, is member of the Oleaceae family. This study provides comprehensive taxonomic identification L. based on its macro- and micromorphological characteristics, particularly focusing leaf foliar epidermal taxonomy. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used analyze structures collected from various populations Ulleungdo Island, primary habitat. Macromorphological assessment revealed that exhibits ovate elliptical leaves with pointed apices, rounded bases, entire, smooth margins. The measured 3-10 cm in length 1.5-4 width, pinnate venation pattern prominent secondary veins. adaxial surface dark green glabrous, while lighter slightly pubescent. Micromorphological analysis using SEM provided detailed insights into characteristics. cells were polygonal shape straight curved anticlinal walls. Anomocytic stomata not surrounded by specialized are predominant type, density ranging 100 150/mm

This research is to examine the macromorphological and foliar epidermal anatomical features of Lilium rosthornii Diels its ability plastically adapt environmental forces, which crucial for taxonomic classification. L. has characteristics such as linear lanceolate leaves up 20 cm in length 2-3 breadth, grouped a whorled pattern. The blooms are voluminous conspicuous, measuring 15 diameter supported by towering stalk that grows 1 m height. structure exhibits stomatal 82.02 ± 5.77 μm width 29.19 1.39 μm. These measurements suggest plant's stomata influenced ploidy levels may serve adaptive mechanisms enhance water consumption efficiency. leaf shows significant thickness 398.74 97.96 μm, might potentially contribute withstand challenges. Additionally, presence defensive adaptations top lower layers further supports this observation. palisade tissue measurement (58.87 9.56 m) spongy (32.42 12.72 μm) indicate potential photosynthetic optimization. Furthermore, there possible correlation between vascular bundle (28.15 6.52 °m) efficiency nutrition delivery. results study emphasize notable diversity structures rosthornii, offering valuable understanding morphological have ecological significance. findings provide deeper comprehension impact on plant function categorization, hence providing insights domain morphology systematics. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: Examines rosthornii's adaptability relevance. Leaf defenses resilience stress. Highlights structures, with implications significance Offers into
