VEGETATIVE ANATOMY OF TWO GALIUM L. SPECIES (RUBIACEAE)

The structure of two medicinal Galium species (G. album Mill. and G. verum L.) was studied to determine the range of variation in certain histo-anatomical characters of the vegetative organs. The study revealed several interesting anatomical data that have not previously been reported in these species, e.g. the structure of the rhizome, the presence of the trichomes on the adaxial face of G. verum foliar limb.
