Histochemical analyses for detection of polyphenols and flavanols in stems of Miconia albicans fixed or postfixed in caffeine and sodium benzoate, previous to embedding in PEG (T4, T5). T4: Material fixed in caffeine and sodium benzoate, embedded in PEG, sectioned, and submitted to histochemical reactions. T5: Material fixed in Karnovsky’s solution, postfixed in caffeine and sodium benzoate, embedded in PEG, sectioned, and submitted to histochemical reactions. The vanillin/hydrochloride acid tests show false-negative results in T4 and T5. Scale bars: 50 µm. Abbreviations: PEG, Polyethylene glycol; DMACA, p-dimethylamino-cinnamaldehyde; pi, pith; mb, medullary bundle.
