Morphological , Anatomical and Chemical Studies of Salvia Rosmarinus Spenn. Growing in Al- Marj (Libya)

Salvia rosmarinus Spenn (synonym: Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is economically and medically important grows naturally in Al-Marj (Libya). Macro, micro morphological chemical characteristics were studied. Leaf venation, leaf anatomy compounds of essential oils carried out according to traditional methods. The objective the present study provide detailed description this species. Morphological charactersistics leaves, calyx, corolla, stamens are useful for sectional specific delimitations Salvia. architecture characters primary, secondary, tertiary quaternary veins good diagnostic markers identification classification Anatomical such as glandular non- trichomes , mesophyll structure, presence hypodermis structure vascular bundles have been found taxonomic value. Cineol (32.38%) main component oil, followed by Camphor, β-pinene, borneol, Caryophyllene, α-terpineol α-pinene. Chemical data value
