Stomata confined to lower epidermis [of a leaf].

CONT

Stomata are commonly found on leaves, and often on stems as well. Certain terminology is associated with their location; if they occur on both surfaces of a leaf, the plant is amphistomatic; if they occur on the upper surface only, it is epistomatic; and lower surface only is hypostomatic.
