The comparative study of plant structure, morphology, and anatomy has always been the backbone of plant systematics. Anatomical characteristics are important evidence when elucidating the relationships among higher plants. Therefore the anatomical information can be taxonomically useful without having obvious evolutionary or phylogenetic interpretation. This review is a comprehensive study of the plant anatomical methods used by various researchers using different plant sources like leaf, petiole, and stem
