RESUMO

The genus Filgueirasia (McClure) Guala belongs to the sub-family Bambusoideae is composed of two species, Filgueirasia arenicola (McClure) Guala, and Filgueirasia cannavieira (Álvaro da Silveira) Guala, which are endemic of Brazilian Cerrado. The objective of this study is to characterize morpho-anatomically the vegetative organs of three populations of F. arenicola, P1, P2, collected along the highway-364 (BR-364), between the cities of Jataí and Mineiros, and the PNE was collected in the Parque Nacional das Emas. For the morphometric study 17 characteristics were analyzed from 30 colleted samples. The samples were processed for anatomical analysis according to the usual microtechniques, and sectioned in several planes. The morphometric measurements of the PNE samples (10 out pf 17 parameters) were higher than those from P1 and P2. Furthermore, PNE individuals were significantly taller, as well as larger 1st branches, diameter of the internodes, and diameter of the pith. The cluster analysis grouped the parameters in three clusters. The first had the largest number of observations comprising the characters above and below the first branch, length of the internode above and below the first branch, diameter of the internode above and below the first branch, diameter of insertion of the node, diameter of the node above and below the first branch, diameter of the pith and thickness of the cortex comprised the major part of the measurements (49) and represented 54.44 % of the total observations. In transverse section, the most important anatomical characters of the leaf blade and sheath can be summarized as following: prickles and hooks in both epidermis, micro-trichomes on the adaxial face, nodular square silica cells and parenchyma rachymorphous. The culm was characterized by the presence of rachymorphous cells, hollow pith, inner vascular type, type I vascular bundles (sub-type Ib) and one-directional phloem. The root had root-hairs in right angle to the epidermis, exodermis, triangular intercellular space, lysigenous air cavities in the cortex, endodermis with U-shaped thickness, uniseriate pericycle, and phloem dispersed in the stele. The rhizome had trichomes, parenchymatous cortex, and endodermis. The rhizome stele was composed of a primary thickening meristem (PTM) formed by the pericycle, pericycle fibers, randomly arrangement primary vascular bundles of variable shape, well developed phloem elements in several orientations, parenchyma, and anular and helicoidal vessel elements. Hence, F. Arenicola has unique features that are not found in the sub-family Bambusoideae such as parenchyma rachymorphous and primary thickening meristem. Additionally, prickles and hooks in both leaf surface, microtrichomes in the adaxial epidermis and new types of siliceous cells (square and nodular) in the leaf blade had not yet been described for this the species.
