Abstract

RESUMO: Descrições morfoanatômicas preliminares do caule e da folha de Acanthospermum australe (Loefl .) Kuntze foram realizadas a partir de material vegetal fresco e fi xado. Secções transversais e paradérmicas, coradas com safranina/azul de astra e azul de toluidina foram analisadas ao microscópio. As superfícies do caule e da folha foram observadas através de microscopia eletrônica de varredura. A. australe apresenta, tanto no caule quanto na folha, tricomas tectores pluricelulares, unisseriados e de extremidades afi ladas, e glandulares discóides, com pedúnculo curto unicelular, no qual se prendem cinco séries de células. A folha é anfi estomática e os estômatos são do tipo anomocítico, levemente proeminentes em relação ao nível das demais células epidérmicas. O caule apresenta crescimento secundário inicial, destacando-se os ductos secretores no parênquima cortical e medular. ABSTRACT: "A preliminary morphological and anatomical study of the stem and leaf of Acanthospermum australe (Loefl .) Kuntze (Asteraceae-Heliantheae)". Preliminary morphological and anatomical descriptions of stem and leaf of Acanthospermum australe (Loefl .) Kuntze were made in fresh and fi xed material. Cross and superfi cial sections, stained with safranin/ astra blue and Toluidine blue were analyzed at the light microscopic and the images were acquired by means the program Image Pro-Plus, version 4.0 (Media Cybertecnics). The surface of the stem and leaf were observed through scanning electronic microscopy. The species presents in the stem and leaf surface multicellular nonglandular trichome, uniseriate with a pointed edge and multicellular glandular trichome like a disk with a unicellular peduncle, in which is attached a series of fi ve cells. The leaf presents anomocytic stomata in both surfaces a little prominent in relation to the level of the epidermal cells. The stem presents an initial secondary growth with evident secretory ducts in the cortex and pith.
