Relevance:
Representatives of the genus Agrimonia L. are valuable medicinal plants widely
used in traditional medicine. However, the morphological and anatomical characteristics of its various
species have not been sufficiently studied, which complicates species diagnostics and the rational use
of raw materials.
Objective of the study:
To study and compare the morphological and anatomical features of
Agrimonia asiatica Juz. and Agrimonia pilosa Ldb. in populations of South Kazakhstan.
Materials and methods:
The research material consisted of samples of A. asiatica Juz. and A.
pilosa Ldb. collected from various ecotopes of South Kazakhstan. Morphological analysis was carried
out using field and laboratory methods of descriptive botany. Anatomical studies were performed on
microsections of leaves, stems, and roots using an MCX100 binocular microscope and Microvisible
software. Morphometric parameters were determined with the use of statistical data processing.
Results:
Diagnostic morphological features of the studied species were identified. In A. pilosa
Ldb., fruits are significantly smaller (length – 4.7±0.62 mm, width – 2.9±0.68 mm) and possess
distinct spines. In A. asiatica Juz., the leaves are simple, elliptic, and densely pubescent; more
developed xylem conduction in stems and roots was noted. Anatomical structure revealed differences
in the thickness of the epidermis, mesophyll, sclerenchyma, and xylem elements. For populations of
A. asiatica, the presence of numerous glandular trichomes on the lower epidermis was characteristic.
Conclusions:
The morphological and anatomical study revealed diagnostic features
differentiating A. asiatica Juz. and A. pilosa Ldb. The obtained data refine intraspecific characteristics
and can be used for taxonomic diagnostics, pharmacognostic evaluation, and further research of
medicinal plants of the genus Agrimonia L.
