STUDY OF THE ANATOMICAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF THE RAW MATERIAL OF IRIS SCARIOSA L., GROWING IN THE TERRITORY OF CENTRAL KAZAKHSTAN

Aim. Study of the anatomical and morphological analysis of the above-ground and underground parts of Iris scariosa L., as well as identification of diagnostic characteristics.

Materials and methods. The object of the study were the above-ground and underground parts of Iris scariosa Willd. ex Link, collected in Central Kazakhstan (Karaganda region) in May-July 2024. The identification of raw materials was carried out at the Department of Botany of the Biological and Geographical Faculty of Buketov Karaganda University NC JSC. During the study, cross-sections and surface preparations of both above-ground and underground plant organs were prepared.

Results and discussion. The results of the analysis allowed us to identify characteristic features of the structure of the organs of Iris scariosa L., which is important for understanding its biology and potential use in medicine. In addition, the study identified diagnostic features that can be used in pharmacognosy to identify and confirm the authenticity of plant materials.

Conclusions. The obtained data on the structure of leaves, flowers and rhizomes are of great importance for understanding the biology of the plant and its adaptation to the conditions of Central Kazakhstan. The results of this study can serve as a basis for further work on studying the biological properties of Iris scariosa L. and its potential use in medicine and pharmaceuticals.
