The upper and lower epidermis are uniseriate with a thin waxy cuticle. Stomata are abundant on the lower or abaxial surface and may occasionally be seen on the upper or adaxial surface as well. Small mushroom shaped peltate trichomes are also present in the lower epidermis. These secretory trichomes have short stalks, appearing to sink into the epidermis.
