Abstract

In this study, some micromorphological features of Valeriana sisymbriifolia Vahl. belonging to the family Caprifoliaceae Juss. (Synonyms are Valerianaceae Batsch and Dipsacaceae Juss.) were tried to be determined and statistically compare. The determined micromorphological features of the taxon were compared with the anatomical studies of some other taxa of the genus Valeriana in the literature. In addition, the numerical values obtained from the micromorphological studies of the taxon were evaluated statistically. Caprifoliaceae family, to which the studied taxon belongs, are naturally found in most regions of the world, except Australia. Some species are grown as ornamental plants. Some are herbaceous plants used in sedatives and herbal remedies against insomnia. With these features, it is a family of economic importance. Anatomical sections taken by hand from the root, stem and leaf parts of the taxon were then stained with safranin and fast-green. Sections belonging to the taxon were examined and microscope measurements were obtained from their micromorphological characters. These numerical values were statistically evaluated at the significance levels of P<0.01P and P<0.05P, and the results are shown in tables. In this study, the micromorphological features of the taxon obtained from root, stem and leaf anatomy were compared with the studies in the literature of different taxa of the same genus, it was seen that they generally showed similar features, but also different micromorphological features were determined. The fact that the cortex parenchyma cells surrounding the vascular tissues in the stem sections of the taxon have starch particles, as well as the presence of a large pith space in the stem center are remarkable micromorphological features.
