Abstract:

The determination of structure of the vegetative organs of Scilla bifolia L. species is the first step for the pharmacognostic research concerning the products Scillae bifoliae bulbus and Scillae bifoliae folium. The bulb has primary structure. The cells of fundamental parenchyma accumulate reserve substances. The aerial stem had circular-ribbed contour and primary structure. The medullar parenchyma is missing. It is replaced by a medullar lacuna. The leaf’s limb is amphystomatic, having an equifacial structure. The tector and secretory hairs are missing.


Keywords: Scilla bifolia L., vegetative organs, histo-anatomical data
