Microscopic studies of some Chelidonium majus L. populations.

The Papaveraceae family, groups 300 of herbaceous annual, biannual or perennial species, widespread in spontaneous flora. Chelidonium majus L., celandine is part of the Papaveraceae family. In our country celandine is the component of hepatic teas, as well as frequently encountered as the formula of homeopathic drugs. Nowadays, it is recommended as a remedy in case of more than 150 diseases. In the period of 2014-2015 were collected samples of celandine from two populations, Oradea’s area and Ștei’s area and we making a comparison between the two populations. Our results show that the largest differences appear on the level of main stems. In case of the samples from Ștei the latex is present in very small quantities. These results are important, especially if we take into account the fact that it is a widely used medicinal plant.
