Abstract

The macro- and micromorphological 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
