Foliar morphology, anatomy and ethnobotany of arboreal Sapindaceae from Horco Molle Experimental Reserve, Tucumán
Mercado, María I.; Ana I., Ruiz; María.V., Coll Araoz; Marcelo. L., Wagner; Graciela I. Ponessa. 2011. “Foliar morphology, anatomy and ethnobotany of arboreal Sapindaceae from Horco Molle Experimental Reserve, Tucumán”. Lilloa 48 (2). The aim of this study was to survey the ethnopharmacobotany of three Sapindaceae species and to establish which foliar morphological and anatomical features can be diagnostic in quality control. The area of study was the Horco Molle Experimental Reserve. Material was fixed in FAA and conventional anatomical techniques were used. A dichotomous key with morphological and anatomical features was made for the following species: Allophylus edulis, Cupania vernalis and Sapindus saponaria. The morphoanatomical features used were: type of leaves, texture, leaf thickness, type of trichomes, domatia, central vein, type of stomata, nature and shape of the cortical parenchyma of the petiole. This is the first time that the ethnopharmacobotany in the Horco Molle community is inquired. Interviews showed the uses of these species in the treatment of digestive, respiratory, circulatory, urinary, skin affections and in diseases of the nervous system. Leaf morphology and anatomy are valid resources for quality control. Domatia are described in two species for the first time
