Abstract

This study aimed to characterize and evaluate the morphological and morphoanatomic of Pilocarpus microphyllus hits Stapf ex-Wardleworth Rutaceae, Ananas comosus var. erectifolius (L. B. Smith) Coppens & F. Leal-Bromeliacea and Psychotria ipecacuanha (Brotero) Stokes-Rubiaceae, stored in Active Germplasm Bank of medicinal plants at Embrapa Amazônia Oriental, in Belém, PA. For both were chosen at random. 10 accessions of each species, being characterized for 3-9 qualitative characters and evaluated to 3-4 quantitative traits. For qualitative characters were obtained the occurrence percentages, while quantitative were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyzes, the latter obtained by standardized mean Euclidean distance. The Morphology of the three species was performed by the leaf or lamina and in leaflet, and the presence of polymorphic crystals. Was diagnosed during the study, the characters can subsidize the initial drafting of a list of descriptors or morphological characters, which can be used in the characterization and evaluation.
