ABSTRACT: The morpho-anatomical
structure of the aboveground and underground organs of the rare endemic species Iris (Juno) magnifica, growing under natural conditions of the Zeravshan
ridge, Samarkand mountains, has been studied for the first time. A comparative
analysis of the morpho-anatomical structure of the aboveground and underground
organs revealed characteristic diagnostic signs of a microscopic structure. The
complex of anatomical features of the aboveground and underground organs of the
studied species are species-specific and can be used to solve taxonomic
problems of this genus of plants, as well as the Red Book endemic species of juno irises, are of particular interest in
connection with the potential for their vegetative reproduction.
