The study involved screening and SEM analysis of the micromorphological features of the abaxial leaf surface of ordinary epidermal cells, stomata and trichomes of two varieties of Quercus cerris L. The results indicated features distinguishing the two varieties: in var. austriaca the wax is present as crystalloids in the form of simple platelets, while in var. cerris the wax appears as a smooth layer. Moreover, the results point to some special characteristics of Q. cerris in relation to other Quercus species. The approximately square, not ellipsoid, shape of the peristomatal rims is typical of the species Q. cerris L.
