Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo clarify the origin and provide pharmacognostical evidences for the leaves of 5 species in Chloranthus.
METHODHistological observation and microscopic identification through different slice-making techniques were applied to the research.
RESULTThere were subtle differences between the histological characteristics. In microscopical identification, the different structures of vascular bundles in veins were observed, appendages and non-glandular hairs were distinct.
CONCLUSIONThe method can be used to distinguish the features of 5 species in Chloranthus. This article offers information for the further research and exploitation of Chloranthus.
