epidermal long cell definition

Pankaj,

You can find a short but good description in

Silicified Cells of Grasses: A Major Source of Plant Opal in Illinois

http://web.aces.uiuc.edu/vista/pdf_pubs/silcell.pdf

See the paragraph 'Kinds of epidermal cells'.

We briefly discussed different types of epidermal cells in grasses 
when we introduced 'epidermal cork cell', but at that time, we ended up adding only a type of short cell in  epidermis, 
'cork cell (sensu Poaceae)'. Later, we changed the name to 'epidermal cork cell'
