Morphoanatomic characterization of the "Sarandí blanco" or "Sarã morotí" leaves (Citharexylum amabilis y Citharexylum myrianthum –Verbenaceae–) and its use in the medical ethnobotany of the criollos of the Chaco Humedo Formoseño (Argentina)

Background and aims: Citharexylum amabilis (Verbenaceae) is a specie used as hypoglycemic in the ethnomedicine of the criollos of the humid northern of Chaco. It is commonly called "Sarandí blanco" or "Sarã morotí" and its leaves are used for medical purposes. There is another sp...

description Background and aims: Citharexylum amabilis (Verbenaceae) is a specie used as hypoglycemic in the ethnomedicine of the criollos of the humid northern of Chaco. It is commonly called "Sarandí blanco" or "Sarã morotí" and its leaves are used for medical purposes. There is another specie known as Citharexylum myrianthum (Verbenaceae) that can be used as a substitute of the former. Citharexylum myrianthum can be found in different markets in Formosa and it has the same vernacular name, use and organ employed as Citharexylum amabilis. Due to the absence of morphoanatomic information about the plant organ used in both species, a detailed description of each of them was conducted in order to provide anatomical characteristics that may allow a better identification and microscopic differentiation between the two of them.  M&M: Ethnobotanical information was collected through semi-structured interviews. Plant material was both, collected and acquired, in a market. The characterization of these materials was performed with anatomical techniques. Results: It is possible to distinguish the leaves of both species mainly due to the presence of single-celled and multicellular simple eglandular trichomes in C. myrianthum and its absence in C. amabilis. Conclusions: This work becomes the first pharmacobotanical study of the leaves of these species, and the first record of the use of C. amabilis in the medical ethnobotany of northwestern Argentina.

Introducción y objetivos: Citharexylum amabilis (Verbenaceae) es una especie empleada en la etnomedicina de los criollos del chaco húmedo norte como hipoglucemiante. Es conocida en la zona como “sarandí blanco” o “sarã morotí” y la parte utilizada son sus hojas. Con el mismo nombre vernáculo, mismo uso y órgano empleado se comercializa en los mercados de Formosa otra especie: Citharexylum myrianthum (Verbenaceae), la cual se emplea de manera sustituta. Debido a la ausencia de información morfoanatómica respecto al órgano vegetal empleado de ambas especies se realizó su caracterización con la intención de aportar caracteres anatómicos como herramienta para su identificación y diferenciación microscópica. M&M: Se recolectó la información etnobotánica por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas, se recolectó material vegetal y se adquirió muestras en el mercado local. Se realizaron técnicas de anatomía vegetal para la caracterización.  Resultados: Es posible distinguir las hojas de ambas especies principalmente debido a la presencia de tricomas eglandulares simples unicelulares y pluricelulares presentes en la C. myrianthum y ausentes en C. amabilis.  Conclusiones: Constituye este trabajo el primer estudio farmacobotánico de las hojas de estas especies, y el primer registro del empleo de C. amabilis en la etnobotánica medica del noroeste argentino.
