This paper presents new data on the diversity of Lactuca L. in Turkey based on recent collections made during revisional work. Lactuca leucoclada Rech.f. & Tuisl is newly recorded for Turkey, and for Lactuca viminea (L.) J.Presl. & C.Presl. and Lactuca quercina L., the presence of two distinct subspecies each in Turkey, L. viminea subsp. viminea and L. viminea subsp. ramosissima (All.) Arcang., and L. quercina subsp. quercina and L. quercina subsp. wilhemsiana (DC.) Feráková, respectively, are reported. The presence of Lactuca macrophylla (Willd.) A.Gray, so far only doubtfully reported from Turkey, is confirmed in the present study. Emended descriptions, …

In Poland, Borago officinalis is a cultivated plant or a segetal weed. It is a medicinal, cosmetic, melliferous, ornamental, and edible species. Its leaves, herb, flowers, and seeds are a source of bioactive compounds. Given the high concentration of essential fatty acids, borage is used in many branches of industry. The aim of this study was to examine the structure of trichomes and to carry out histochemical labeling of selected groups of biologically active compounds contained in secretory cells. Anatomical traits of leaves, stems, and pedicels were investigated using bright-field light, fluorescence, and scanning electron microscopy. Characteristic features of the …
