N2 - Halenia elliptica D. Don, a popularly used
ethnodrug from Qinghai-Tibetan plateau, was studied to reveal the indispensable
morphoanatomic details. The fixed, sectioned, and stained plant materials as
well as the epidermis, powder, and maceration materials were studied using
light microscope according to the usual microscopic techniques. The results of
the microscopic features were systematic described and illustrated. In the
root, an endodermal cell was divided into 8-16-22 and 38-50-62 daughter cells
in transverse section and in face view, respectively, and 9-11-13 phloem
strands were present in primary structure; in the stem, stone cells were
observed in the cortex, pericycle, and external phloem while 17-19-21 internal
phloem strands were present in an incontinuous ring; in the pedicel, 8-10-12
internal phloem strands were observed to form an incontinuous ring; anisocytic
and anomocytic stomata were present in leaf and sepal epidermis; pollen grain
was with three germinal apertures and furrows; a few tracheids, a large number
of spiral vessels, and various fibers were observed. Also, semiquantitative and
quantitative micrographic parameter tables were simultaneously presented.
Further, the key authentication parameters were concluded. The study indicated
that light microscopy and related techniques could be unambiguously applied to
the authentication of Halenia elliptica. Microsc.
