Abstract:
The present investigation dealt with comparative anatomical characters of 29 selected wild species that belongs to different families growing in different parts of Baghdad Province. These species are : 1. Brassica deflexa Boiss.2. Brassica rapa L.3. Cardaria draba (L.) Desv.4. Sinapis arvensis L.5. Sisymbrium irio L.6. Strigosella africana (L.) Boch.7. Stellaria media (L.)Vill.8. Atriplex nitens Schkuhr.9. Chenopodium album L.10. Chrysanthemum coronarium L.11. Lactuca serriola L.12. Sonchus oleraceus L.13. Medicago polymorpha L.14. Melilotus indicus (L.) ALL.15. Vicia sativa L.16. Erodium cicutarium(L.) L'H17. Geranium rotundifolium L.18. Lamium amplexicaule L.19. Malva parviflora L.20. Plantago lanceolata L.21. Polygonum aviculare L.22. Rumex dentatus L.23. Ranunculus muricatus L.II24. Veronica polita Fries.25. Astrodaucus leptocarpus (Hoghst.) H. Riedl26. Urtica urens L.27. Verbena officinalis L.28. Lippia nodiflora (L.) Rich.29. Tribulus terrestris L.Some of these species have been anatomically investigated for the first time.Anatomical characters might be useful for plant biologist for the identification of important wild plants as an additional character at global level. Comparative anatomical characters were used; such as characteristics of ordinary epidermal cells of stems and leaves and stomatal complexes. The epidermis possesses number of important diagnostic character that offer valuable clues for identification, like size, shape, in addition to indumentum of both stems and leaves. Venation system was investigated and compared. Cross sections of root were useful taxonomically especially the thickness of epidermis, cortex, phloem and xylem. The study observed presence of sclerenchyma tissues in the root cortex of some species. Cross sectioning of stems and petioles were also studied. Epidermis, cortex, pericycle, vascular bundle shapes and numbers, pith characters, presence of crystals and tannin filled cells were useful aid in distinguishing species. Vertical sections of leaf blades, shape and number of vascular bundles, thickness of palisade and spongy layers and other mesophyll characters were important taxonomically.ccording to some of these characters, species were divided into groups. This study concluded the presence of variations in characters and these were presented for the first time comparatively, so that, the anatomical characters were a good support to the exomorphological characters in the studied species. Field photographs of the different studied plants and sections of organs were put in addition to numerous tables in this work. The above results were discussed scientifically regarding mainly the environmental factors.
