Abstract
Background & Aim: Salvia macrosiphon is one of the important species of Salvia which belongs to the Lamiaceae family. All 58 Iranian species of Salvia grow in different ecological places. The aim of this research is the investigation of morphological and anatomical characteristics of S. macrosiphon. Experimental: The above–mentioned species were collected from Zavarijan and Dodangeh region in Borojerd in 2007, and were transferred into a suitable place and then they have been determined systematically and they were used for morphological and anatomical studies by using light microscope. Results & Discussion: The investigation shows the species are mostly similar to the other ones previously studied anatomically. There were many trichomes in epidermal layer of stem. There are also anantomically different bundle sheath in pedicles which is three in middle and two in surrounding area in S. macrosiphon. The collenchyma tissues were observed in corners of stem. Parenchyma cells have chloroplasts and there are also many trichomes in the surface of leaves which seems many of them are secretary. Industrial and practical recommendations: The usage of the extract of different species of Saliva macrosiphon in medicinal and food products and its biological activity totally depends on the chemical compounds of extract. So, according to the importance of these extracts, doing some extensive research on all Iranian species is recommended.
