Summary, etc. <p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Bauhinia vahlii </em>has been reported for several medicinal properties, such as tyrosinase inhibitory, immunomodulatory and free radical scavenging activities.<em> Bauhinia tomentosa</em> and<em> Bauhinia racemosa</em> also possess anti-diabetic, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-obesity and antihyperlipidemic activities. Therefore, the correct identification of these plants is critically important. The aim was to investigate the comparative morpho-micrometric analysis of 3 species of <em>Bauhinia </em>belonging to the family Leguminosae (Fabaceae) by using conventional as well as scanning electron microscopy to support species identification. In <em>B. racemosa</em>, epidermal cells are polygonal with anticlinical walls; whereas wavy walled cells are found in <em>B. tomentosa</em> and <em>B. vahlii. </em>Anisocytic stomata are present in <em>B. racemosa, </em>while<em> B. tomentosa</em> shows the presence of paracytic stomata and anomocytic stomata in <em>B. vahlii. </em>Stomatal numbers and stomatal indices were found to be more in <em>B. vahlii</em> than <em>B. tomentosa</em> and <em>B. racemosa.</em> On the other hand, uniseriate, unicellular covering trichomes are found in <em>B. racemosa</em> and <em>B. tomentosa</em> but <em>B. vahlii</em> contains only uniseriate, multicellular covering trichomes. Based on these micromorphological features, a diagnostic key was developed for identification of the particular species which helps a lot in pharmaceutical botany, taxonomy and horticulture, in terms of species identification.</p>
