Since ancient times, many plants have been cultivated for their nutritional and medicinal properties. The genusSanguisorbahas been used for medicinal purposes for more than 2000 years. These species are distributed in temperate, arctic, or alpine areas in the Northern Hemisphere. Elongated, imparipinnate leaves and densely clustered flower heads are characteristics of the genusSanguisorba. WhileSanguisorba officinalisL. is mainly known for its significant medicinal applications,Sanguisorba minorScop. is beginning to attract greater interest for its chemical composition and biological effects. Our research collected extensive information onSanguisorba minor, including its history, taxonomy, habitat, and distribution, as well as its bioactive components and biological activities. In addition to electron microscopy of plant parts (root, stems, and leaves), which is described for the first time in the literature in the case ofS. minor, the study also provides information on potential pests or beneficial insects that may be present. Our goal was to provide important information that will serve as a solid foundation for upcoming research onSanguisorba minorScop.
