MICROSTRUCTURAL FEATURES OF THE VEGETATIVE ORGANS OF DELPHIUM FLEXUOSUM BIEB. COMMON IN GEORGIA

The genus Delphinium L. is rich in diterpene alkaloids, which exhibit a pronounced curare-like, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antidote and insecticidal action. content of alkaloids the aboveground unde-ground vegetative organs flexuosum Bieb., promising medicinal plant flora Georgia, diagnostic features internal structure were studied order to determine identity experimental raw material.GC/MS analysis revealed that dominant alkaloid obtained from pharmacologically active methyllicaconitine.  Other have been identified as anthranoillocytonine, delcosine, lycotonine. As well, underground contain also zongorine, delectine norzongoramine. A set D. was determined using methods adopted microtechnics. leaf bifacial, hypostomatic has dorsoventral structure. It very rarely covered with long conical trichomes, underlying cells lower upper epidermis are non-wrinkled curved. differential stomatal apparatus leaf-covering tissue anomocytic.  Stomata lenticular, stomata chaotic, terms reciprocal location locking cells. pulp differentiated into open, reverse-collateral conductive cones. characterized by an orderly aligned structural elements epidermal tissue, linear straight-walled stem arranged anomocytic stomata. Collenchymal fibrous mechanical type open-collateral conducting cones thickening spiral reticular membrane actively reflected axis. root system contains number polar rays wood stepwise, ring-shaped tracheal elements.
