Histological Study of the Leaf, Bark and Fruit of Vismia cayennensis

This research presents morphological features of leaf, bark and fruit of Vismia cayennensis (Jacq.) Pers. and shows the presence of structures that accumulate phenolics, main isolated chemical compounds of this genus. Vismia belongs to the Clusiaceae family, which, notwithstanding its large folk medicinal use in the Amazon region, has a few records about histological studies on this genus.
