Morfología y anatomía foliar de Dysphania ambrosioides (Chenopodiaceae) en la provincia de Tucumán

Abstract

Dysphania ambrosioides (L.) Mosyakin and Clemants (Chenopodiaceae) is a cosmopolitan and herbaceous species, with medicinal use. The aim of this work was to determine the morphological and anatomical foliar variability in different locations of Tucumán. The parameters evaluated were: foliar architecture, index, density and stomata length. The nervation pattern found was coincident with that found by other authors. Two classes of trichomes were observed, tector and glandular. In the abaxial epidermis the correlation between stomata length and density was negative, while in the adaxial epidermis it was positive.
