Abstract (english)

Specimes of Satureja montana subsp. montana and Satureja subspicata subsp. liburnica from mountain Velebit were comparatively
analyzed regarding their anatomy and chromatographic features. Microscopical observation of their leaf section revealed the presence of papillose, unicellular and bicellular covering trichomes with warty walls as well as two types of
glandular trichomes that are characteristic far Lamiaceae family. Differences
of studied Satureja species are based on the structure of glandular trichomes,
pubescence density and the frequency of each trichome type as well. In contrast
to S. subspicata that has glabrous stem, the stem of S. montana is covered
with numerous unicellular and multicellular trichomes. Chemical analysis of
leaf extracts performed by thin layer chromatography showed the presence of
flavonoids, caffeic acid, rosmarinic acid, ursolic acid and monoterpene phenols
(thymol and/or carvacrol). It has been found that different chromatographic
features of flavonoid composition enable reliable characterization each of Satureja species studied.
