Abstract
In this study, we give a geometric description of glandular hairs of some sage which are aromatic and often used as herbs, spices, folk medicines and fragrances thanks to their glandular hairs. Glandular hairs are divided into different types according to geometric shape of the head cells. In the present study we have shown that the glandular hairs of the sage are considered a certain part of surface of revolution about a plane curve alpha(t) = (f(t), g(t)) and alpha: f(y, z) = c. To draw these kind of surfaces we type into the Maple plotting command. The head part of glandular hairs of 18 Salvia L. taxa tried to be defined geometrically and numerical data obtained from anatomical studies were evaluated statistically to compare the examined taxa with each other. The results from numerical and geometrically analysis of the geometric shape of head cell provides a different point of view, therefore creates a new comparing opportunity for the future researchs on the related subjects.
