ECOPHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN SPECIES WITH MEDICINAL VALUE FROM REDIU FOREST (BOTO ANI COUNTY)

This paper presents the results of the determinations of physiological parameters (content of water, dry substance, total mineral elements, assimilatory pigments, concentration of cellular juice) at herbaceous or woody species that have medicinal value. The species that were analyzed are characterised by a high content of water, assimilatory pigments and a good capacity to exploit the mineral elements from the soil, capacity that is rendered by an appreciable amount of total mineral elements. The concentration of the cellular juice in leaves and flowers presents low-moderate values except for the species Origanum vulgare, Melilotus officinalis and Galium verum for which high values have been recorded.
