Anatomical structure of the vegetative organs of the meadow lathyrus (Lathyrus pratensis l)

This article reveals the scientific data on the anatomical structure of the vegetative organs of Lathyruspratensis L. which naturally grows in the flora of Uzbekistan. The material for anatomical studies was collected during the period of mass flowering in the vicinity of Tashkent. The results of the anatomical structure of the aboveground organs of the meadow lathyrusare presented, which made it possible to identify the diagnostic signs necessary for developing reliable characteristics of the proposed raw materials. The overground part of the meadow lathyrus, which is used in folk medicine, has been subjected to microscopic analysis. The lathyrusherb contains up to 800 mg vitamin C, carotenes, up to 17.3% protein, fats, alkaloids, bitter and tannin substances, flavonoids, luteolin- 4′- O -fi-D glucopyranoside, and the meadow lathyrus contains luteolin-7-O-fi-D glucopyranoside, luteolin- 4′-0-P-D- glucopyranoside and quercetin 3-0-b-D- glucopyranoside.
