| The aim of this study was to determine the morphological, anatomical and ecologicalcharacteristics of Ajuga salicifolia (L.) Schreber plant belonging to Lamiaceae family. Theplant was collected between April and June 2019 from the open fields of Bağbaşı location inKırşehir province. The collected samples were placed in 70% alcohol and fixed. Transversesections were taken from the root, stem and leaf of the plant for anatomical research. In addition,superficial sections were taken from both the lower and upper parts of the leaf. According tothe morphological examination, the stem of the plant is upright and occasionally accumbent.The stem is red from the basal to the middle and has hispid hairs on it. Leaves are usuallyoblong-lanceolate. The corolla is yellow and 1-2 very prominent red spots are seen at the farend. In the root cross section of the plant, the periderm is 1-2 layers, rectangular. Phloem is 7-8 rows and xylem are evident. Pith region is observed in the root. According to the stem crosssection, the epidermis cells are circular and square shaped and covered with capitate glandularhairs and 1-3 cell eglandular hairs. The vascular bundles are in a continuous ring. Sclerenchymaalso continues around the vascular bundles. Collenchyma cells are seen in the corners of thestem. The leaf of the A. salicifolia plant is bifacial. Stomata are anomocytic. The soils in whichit grows of A. salicifolia are clayey, slightly alkaline, salt-free, poor in phosphorus, and rich inpotassium and organic matter. As a result, the examination of the species in terms ofmorphology and anatomical aspects provides important benefits in the systematic of plants. Forthis reason, it is expected that our study will benefit the studies to be carried out on the Ajugagenus. |
