Restinga is an ecosystem associated to Mata Atlântica, in which the species closest to the sea are adapted to adverse climatic and edaphic conditions. Among recent studies, the leaf is the most utilized organ for the understanding of morphoanatomical relationships between individuals and the environment, while works focusing stem and root are yet incipient. Thus, the aim of this work was to characterize the morpho-anatomy of adventitious roots and stems of Blutaparon portulacoides (A. St.-Hil.) Mears (Amaranthaceae), Canavalia rosea (Sw.) Dc. (Fabaceae), Ipomoea pes-caprae (L.) Stweet (Convolvulaceae), Remirea maritima Aubl. (Cyperaceae) e Scaevola plumieri (L.) Vahl. (Goodeniaceae) occurring in a Halophile-Psammophila Reptant formation of the Paulo César Vinha State Park, relating to environment parameters; to describe the secretory structures and to identify the classes of secondary metabolites present in the secretion of leaves of Ipomoea pes-caprae and Ipomoea imperati. Soil was sampled and micro environmental measurements were performed. For anatomical evaluations, roots, stems and leaves of different regions were collected and processed following usual techniques in plant anatomy. The soil had few nutrients and organic matter. The micro environmental data showed that herbaceous plants are susceptible to wind speed conditions, relative humidity and evaporation similar to that of sub shrubby species. Morpho-anatomically, the species presented distinct adaptive strategies,specially stolons or rhizomes, aquiferous tissue, aerenchyma in the roots and starch reserve in both stem and root. In Ipomoea pes-caprae and Ipomoea imperati,mucilaginous trichomes and laticifers were described on leaf lamina, and in I. pescaprae, nectaries on petiole. The morpho-anatomical structures found in stems, roots and leaves of the studied species were outstanding features which allowed the survival and competitiveness of these species in the Non-flooded Herbaceous Formation, once they provide adaptive capacity to high temperature, strong wind, high salinity, lack of nutrients, among others.
