Abstract (en)

The paper presents results of the investigations performed in Kaunas Botanical Garden of Vytautas Magnus University (KBGVMU) on anatomical characteristics of stem, leaf, and florets of purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench). Circulating tissues are found in eustele. Primary cortex is composed of 2–3 layers of collenchyma cells. Medulla fills up to 64 % of stem volume. Medullar rays are narrow, composed of 2–4 cell layers. Walls of leaf epidermis cells are strongly waved. Stomata are of anomocytic type. Plants have glandular hairs of two types – unicellular and pluricellular. Ligular florets with oil glands. Oil glands are composed of 10–12 glandular cells arranged in two rows.
