          Abstract

          Las plantas medicinales con características mesomórficas y xeromórficas son un componente destacado dentro de la flora autóctona de la provincia de San Luis. En medicina popular, Lippia turbinata "poleo" es utilizada como emenagogo, diurético y digestivo. Se estudiaron los aspectos morfológicos y anatómicos de las hojas con el objetivo de contribuir a su identificación en muestras comerciales y verificar su variabilidad con el ambiente. En muestras obtenidas de ambientes mesófitos y xerófitos se detectaron diferencias en: forma y tipos de células epidérmicas, presencia de idioblastos en células de la epidermis adaxial, espesor de la cutícula, densidad de tricomas eglandulares, estructura del mesofilo y presencia de idioblastos cristalinos en el mesofilo. Resulta importante ampliar estos conocimientos sobre el "poleo" para comprender mejor la variación intraespecífica y para constatar la presencia de posibles adulterantes en muestras comerciales.

          Medicinal plants with mesomorphic and xeromorphic characteristics are a significant component of the indigenous flora of San Luis province. In popular medicine, Lippia turbinata "poleo" has emmenagogic, diuretic and stomach properties. The morphological and anatomical aspects of foliar leaves were studied according to their environmental conditions, in order to contribute to the identification of samples of commercial drugs. From the studied sections, differences in the following aspects were detected, namely the form and type of epidermic cells, the presence of idioblasts in adaxial epidermic position, thickness of cuticle, density of nonglandular trichomes, the structure of the mesophyll and the presence of crystalline idioblasts in the mesophyll. The study of the foliar morpho-anatomy of Lippia turbinata, turns out to be an important contribution to a better understanding of its intraspecific changes, and to detect possible adulterants in commercial samples.
