Resumo
Spiranthera odoratissima A. St.-Hil. (manacá) is a shrub whose roots
are popularly used against stomach pains, headache, muscle pain, liver disorders, rheumatism
and as an appetite stimulant. The leaves are used as a blood depurative and for liver and
kidney disease. The purpose of this work was to perform the morphological and anatomical
study, the phytochemical screening and determine the water content and the levels of total
and acid of S. odoratissima. The plant material was collected in Leopoldo de Bulhões/ Goiás
and the morpho-anatomical studies and the phytochemical screening were performed using
conventional techniques. It was verified that the leaf is hypostomatic, with anomocytic stomata
and the epidermis has papillae on the abaxial surface. The mesophyll is dorsiventral and the
midrib presents druses of calcium oxalate and secretory cavities. The petiole has a circular
vascular system. The root in primary growth presents vascular cylinder with diarchic organization.
Phenols, tannins, coumarins, flavonoids, triterpenes/sterols, anthraquinones and anthocyanins
were detected in the phytochemical screening of the leaves, and alkaloids, coumarins, saponins
and starch were detected in the roots. These results are important parameters for the quality
control of the vegetal raw material.
