Variations in the anatomical characters of leaf and stem were examined in six species of three genera of Acantheae (Acanthoideae: Acanthaceae) from Yemen, namely, Acanthus L., Blepharis Juss., and Crossandra Salisb. Both light and scanning electron microscopy were used. The paper describes the anatomical variation in the outline of stems, petioles, midribs, lamina and leaf margin. Stem outlines were circular, squarish or squarish with prominent grooves. The adaxial shape of petioles varies from straight, unevenly straight, straight with lateral wings and grooved. Cystoliths were absent in all genera. Raphides cells are present in the petiole and stem of Acanthus arboreus and Crossandra johanninae and absent in Blepharis species. Fibres showed in different part such as margin lamina and surrounding the vascular tissues. The type and position of trichomes were also investigated and both glandular and non-glandular trichomes were found to be present in Acantheae tribe. © 2022 Malaysian Nature Society.
