Abstract: The study analyses the morphology and distribution of secretory hairs, the quantity and quality of volatile oil produced by leaves of plants like Origanum vulgare, collected at different altitudes. The purpose of this study is to establish the variation of these micromorphologic and biochemical characters depending on altitude, emphasizing the value of an aromatic plant.
Keywords: Origanum vulgare, altitude, secretory hairs, morphology, morphometry, volatile oil, chemical composition
