Abstract

Ipomoea hederifolia L. is a herbaceous vine native to the tropical Americas with important medicinal properties. Was realized a pharmacobotanical study of the leaves and stems of this species, performing macroscopic and microscopic morphodiagnoses and histochemical tests. Anatomical characteristics typical of the family Convolvulaceae were found. However, the epidermis and its appendages (e.g. striated cuticle and peltate trichomes) and the anatomy of the petiole and the stem presented relevant characters for the taxonomic recognition of the species. Histochemical tests evidenced the presence of lignin and cutin and positive reactions for starch, phenolic compounds, and proteins. The anatomy and the histochemical tests indicated a set of characteristics relevant to the pharmacobotanical characterization of I. hederifolia, expanding our knowledge of the species and providing subsidies for the quality control of its vegetal products.
