ABSTRACT
Micromorphology of glandular hairs on the leaves of Salvia officinalis L. and Salvia
triloba L. was investigated by light microscopy. We noticed similiarity
and variation between the two species regarding morphology of glandular trichomes.
Two main types of glandular trichomes were identified on both species: peltate and
capitate. Peltate trichomes consisted of a basal cell, one stalk cell and a large
multisecretory head in S. officinalis L. In S. triloba L. peltate trichomes
posses a basal cell, a short unicellular stalk, and a large secretory head with
8 secretory cells. In Salvia officinalis L., four types of capitate trichomes have been distinguished.
Five types of capitate trichomes have been found in Salvia triloba L. The fifth type of capitate trichome, called digitiform
trichome was found in S. triloba L. This
determined interspecific diversity between the two Salvia species.
