Abstract
BACKGROUND: Meadowsweet [Filipendula ulmaria (L.) Maxim.], is the representative of flora of the European parts of Russia. It is widespread in Samara Region. The flowers of the meadowsweet are the pharmacopoeial type of raw materials, but the fruits of this plant are not used in medicine. The fruits of the meadowsweet and its closely related type of the dropwort are the promising source of biologically active compounds of phenolic and sterol nature. Introduction of new types of medical plant raw materials into official medical practice requires the development of regulatory documentation, including morphological and anatomical diagnostics of types.
AIM: The purpose of this work was to study and compare morphological and anatomical features of the structure of meadowsweet fruits and dropwort.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The material of the study was the dry fruits of the meadowsweet and dropwort, collected in June-July 2019 in Samara Region. The research was carried out by means of light microscopy in transmitted and reflected light in a light field.
RESULTS: Morphological and anatomical characteristics of the fruits of two types of meadowsweet were revealed. They hadn’t been described in the literature before. So the fruits of the meadowsweet have the following diagnostic features: the stele of the pedicels is of transitional type, lysigenic receptacles located in them are uneven, pubescence of the epidermis occurs due to simple unicellular trichomes; they also have the three-layer structure of the pericarp, a significant quantity of single crystals in the parenchyma of the parmelia, the cone-shaped form of the conducting bundle in the parmelia seam. The fruits of the dropwort are characterised by retort-shaped hairs that make up the thick pubescence of the multiple fruits, peculiar conducting system of the parmelia in the form of one large collateral bundle of the cone-shaped form, located on the side of the seam.
CONCLUSIONS: The obtained results allow to develop the chapter “Microscopic signs” as a part of the pharmacopoeial monograph devoted to a new perspective medicinal plant raw materials of “Fruits of the meadowsweet” and “Fruits of the dropwort”.
