Abstract

Most of the measured values of stem, leaf, flower and pod morphological characters are in agreement with data from literature. Since leaflet index value and length of inflorescence pedicel data were not found in the available literature, our results may contribute to better understanding of morphological features of this taxon. The anatomical analyses point to amphistomatal leaflet structure with numerous and smaller stomata on abaxial side, numerous glandular hairs, well developed leaflet spongy tissue and stem vessel clements. Mineral element concentrations are very high, especially K in all plant organs, N in leaves, P in pods and Ca in stem.
