1. Trichome unconstricted in growth phase and constrictions were observed during reproduction.2. Trichome tips are found in the faeces of these individuals.3. The tip of the trichome oscillates like a pendulum. 4. Each filament of oscillatoria consists of trichome which is made up of rows of cells. 5. The trichome diameters of " Thioploca araucae " range from 30 to 43 ?m. 6. The trichome diameters of " Thioploca chileae " range from 12 to 20 ?m. 7. The areoles with dark color support grey-yellow glochids, with long white hairs of trichome . 8. Mature trichome straight, cells much broader than long and has hemispherical apical cell with keritomized content. 9.
