Kajian Anatomi Dan Histokimia Daun Ceremai (Phyllanthus Acidus (L.) Skeels)
One of the plants that has the potential to be used as a herbal medicine is the ceremai plant (Phyllanthus acidus (L.) Skeels). Ceremai plant is used by some Indonesian people as a traditional medicine to treat various diseases. This study aims to identify the anatomical structure and analyze the location of the distribution of secondary metabolites in ceremai leaves. The sample used was the third node of the ceremai leaflet. This research was conducted from January-June 2024. The methods used are the paraffin method, paradermal method and histochemistry. Anatomical structures were observed on midrib, intercostal, margin, and petiole. The results of the anatomical study showed characteristics in each tissue, namely the epidermis, ground tissue, and collateral-type transport bundles. Anatomical structure of leaf margin is composed of mesophyll tissue which is differentiated into palisade tissue and spongy tissue. Midrib and petiole have an open collateral vascular bundle type and have the vascular bundle shape a kidney. Stomata are hypostomatic with parasitic type with stomatal density of 85.19±16.97/mm2. Non-glandular trichomes were found in the adaxial part with a density value of 14.81±6.41/mm2. The results of histochemical studies show that the content of secondary phenol metabolite compounds is mostly found in the midrib, intercostal margin and petiole, alkaloid and flavonoid compounds are mostly found in the leaf midrib and petiole, while tannins are mostly found in the petiole.
