Kajian Anatomi Dan Histokimia Daun Dadap Merah (Erythrina Crista-Galli L.)
Dadap merah (Erythrina crista-galli) is a plant from the Fabaceae family which has a tree habitus and trifoliate compound leaves. Dadap merah leaf have potential as medicinal plants. This study aims to characterize the anatomical structure and determine the content of metabolite compounds in dadap merah leaves. Methods used were the paraffin method, the paradermal, and histochemistry. The anatomical structures observed is the midrib, intecostal, margin, and petiole. The results of the anatomical study showed the characteristics of each tissue, namely epidermis, ground tissue, and collateral type vascular bundles. The ground tissue in leaves is composed of three to four layers of palisade tissue and two to three layers of spongy tissue. Amphistomatic stomata on the adaxial side show an anomocytic stomata type with a stomata density of 37,5 ± 12,5/mm2 while on the abaxial side the stomata are parasitic type with a higher density value of 91,67 ± 40,18/mm2. Glandular trichomes are found on both sides of the leaf, the adaxial part of the glandular trichome density value is 16,67 ± 7,22/mm2 which is smaller than the abaxial leaf density value of 29,17 ± 7,22/mm2. The results of histochemical tests showed that the presence of alkaloid, tannin and phenol compounds was found in all parts of the leaves, with alkaloid compounds showing the highest color concentration compared to other compounds. Flavonoid compounds are found in abundance in the midrib and margin, while lipid compounds show lower compound content because they are only found in the cuticle and epidermis.
