Scabiosa atropurpurea L. (Caprifoliaceae),
a medicinal plant traditionally known as “Mor uyuzotu or Şeytanotu” in Turkey,
has been used for treating acne, bronchitis, cold, and cough. Although phytochemical
studies are available, there are no taxonomic studies related to this plant.
The aim of this study was to investigate the anatomy of leaf, stem, and root of
S. atropurpurea. Detailed photographs of plant parts were taken, and
measurements of the leaf, stem, and root were carried out. The cross section of
the stem revealed a single-layered epidermis containing one-celled simple
eglandular trichomes and rarely one-celled hook-shaped eglandular trichomes.
The cortex showed multilayered parenchymatous cells and a single-layered
endodermis. The phloem was followed by the cambium, and the xylem was
lignified. The pith was made up of parenchymatous cells. The leaves are
bifacial and amphistomatic and stomata are mesomorphic in the cross section and
also stomata are anomocytic in the surface section.

The cross section of the root showed that
the epidermis was replaced with the periderm. Under the phloem, which had few
layers, the xylem was composed of tracheary elements surrounded with
sclerenchymatous cells.
