Abstract

Amomum L. is a large genus belonging to the Zingiberaceae family. Chemical composition studies have revealed that the essential oils of two species, Amomum unifolium and Amomum velutinum, exhibit significant antibacterial activity. This research aims to provide morphological and microscopic characteristics of these two species. The microscopic method was used to identify the microscopic features. Morphologically, the two species were able to distinguish by characteristics such as the number of leaves per leafy shoot, leaf blade shape, colour, and the shape and size of flowers. Regarding microscopic features, both species share several common traits, such as the structure of the main veins and leaf blades. However, Amomum velutinum has a standout histological feature where sclerenchyma cells form a continuous ring in the root cortex, distinguishing it from Amomum unifolium. These findings contribute valuable information for the identification of Amomum unifolium and Amomum velutinum. Moreover, these results contribute to the plant diversity database for the genus Amomum.
