Аннотация:A comparative anatomical analysis of assimilating leaves, including cotyledons, in nine herbaceous Boraginaceae has been undertaken. In their microstructural organization, a number of significant heterogeneous traits, connected with their habitats, environment, life-forms, ontogenetic and morphogenetic stages, were revealed. The adaptation strategy for every species was identified. Three ecological groups have been clearly defined: mesophytes, mesoxerophytes and hygromesophytes. In some species, the revealed age heterogeneity in consequently emerging leaves shows up as early as at the seedling stage, whereas in other ones the ontogenetic transformations run smoothly, i.e., heteroblastic and homoblastic types of development are evident.
Differences in the anatomy of leaf-like formations in the studied Boraginaceae species revealed in the course of the present study displayed the possibility of taxonomic identification, starting from the earliest ontogenetic stages.
