Abstract

In this study, the leaf anatomical structure and essential oil chemical composition of Cordia myxa (Boraginaceae) growing in Turkey were investigated. In the anatomical study of C. myxa conducted by light microscopy, anomocytic stomata, cystoliths, cystolithic trichomes, glandular trichomes and calcium oxalate crystals were observed in the leaves, which are hypostomatic and bifacial. Long non-glandular trichomes, glandular trichomes and calcium oxalate crystals were found in the petiole. The major components of the essential oil were phytol (19.2%) and linalool (8.4%). These findings can be used as distinguishing elements in the diagnosis of Cordia myxa.

摘要

在这项研究中，研究了在土耳其生长的Cordia myxa（Boraginaceae）的叶片解剖结构和精油化学成分。在光学显微镜下进行的粘液衣原体的解剖学研究中，在叶片中观察到的是气孔性，囊实性，囊性毛状体，腺毛状体和草酸钙晶体，它们是假说的和双面的。在叶柄中发现长的非腺毛状体，腺毛状体和草酸钙晶体。精油的主要成分是植醇（19.2％）和芳樟醇（8.4％）。这些发现可作为诊断粘Cordia的区别要素。
