The macro-and micro-morphological characters of leaf, petiole, stem, calyx, corolla, androecium, gynoecium, seed and root of Salvia hispanica L. are presented with their diagnostic elements by which the plant can be easily identified in both entire and powdered form. The fascinating thing during the current research is the determination of the presence of different types of non-glandular and glandular trichomes in different organs, also the epidermal cells of leaves and seeds contain mucilage content, the stem contains pericyclic fibers and the root is covered by metaderm layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
