Carum appuanum (Viv.) Grande (Umbelliferae). I. Histochemical and anatomical study

Abstract Anatomical and histochemical studies carried out on Carum appuanum, endemic to the Apuan Alps (NW Tuscany, Italy), show this species to be essentially xerophytic with adaptations for a mesophytic environment. This plant is rich in secreting structures and is of interest due to the presence...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Anatomical and histochemical studies carried out on Carum appuanum, endemic to the Apuan Alps (NW Tuscany, Italy), show this species to be essentially xerophytic with adaptations for a mesophytic environment. This plant is rich in secreting structures and is of interest due to the presence of flavonoids and coumarins detected by fluorescent microscopy priliminary analyses. The relationship between Carum appuanum and the taxa from the Balkans referrable to the Carum rigidulum-graecum group are discussed.
