COMPARATIVE HISTO-ANATOMY AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF TWO AJUGA SPECIES FROM THE ROMANIAN FLORA

Abstract

The study deals with the anatomy and chemistry of two spontaneous Ajuga species (A. genevensis L. and A. reptans L.) of different populations from Romania. The purpose of this study is to analyze the inter- and intra-specific variation of some histo-anatomical and chemical characters in Ajuga sp. The chemical investigations use the TLC and UV-VIS spectrophotometry in order to quantify the composition in iridoids, flavonoids and polyphenolic acids.
