Abstract
Rhodiola rosea L., known as the golden root or the rose root due to the rose scent of its freshly sectioned rhizomes, or the arctic root, is a dioic perennial herbaceous species with a thick rhizome, belonging to the Crassulaceae family. It was thoroughly studied from the pharmaceutical viewpoint, though the histo-anatomical studies are extremely scarce. As a consequence, this species was not described within the botanical treaties on the anatomy of the dicotyledons, or in other recent scientific papers.
