k Marram grass, light micrograph Light micrograph of a crosssection of a leaf of marram grass Ammophila arenaria. This grass is widely planted to stabilise sand dunes as it is resistant to desiccation by the wind. This resistance is due to its tough waxy outer epidermis with few stomata and an elaborate inner epidermis covered with fine hairs designed to collect and retain moisture.
