Özet:

 A comparative morphological and anatomical study of six Equisetum species Е. arvense L., E. fluviatile L., E. palustre L., E. рratense Ehrh., E. sylvaticum L. and E. telmateia Ehrh. was carried out using light and scanning electron microscopy to investigate the species-specific diagnostic features of their raw organs for distinguishing between the taxa. The main diagnostic features that allow identifying the belonging of whole uncrushed raw materials of Equisetum are the presenceabsence of spore-bearing organs and spores, the number of branches ribs, the ratio of the length of the branch internode to leaf whorl of stem and the ratio of the central cavity diameter of the stem to the stem diameter. The ultrastructure of the surface of stems and branches of model species contains a number of diagnostic features, which together allow determining the species affiliation of raw materials correctly. The most significant diagnostic characteristics of Equisetum species are cuticle structure, location, and shape of mamillae and papillae, presence and localization of stomata, features of silica warts on stomata subsidiary cells, siliceous outgrowths on the ribs top ridge of stem and branches. The linear dimensions of epidermal cells, stomata and silica structures, the size of the ribs and the central cavity of the stem have secondary importance for the identification of individual species.
