Pharmacognosy Identification Study on Stem and Leaf of Passiflora edulis
Objective:To study the pharmacognostic characteristics on the stem and leaf of Passiflora edulis.Method:The morphological identification and microscopic identification were adopted.Result:In the cross section of the stem
a few clusters of calcium oxalate were observed in the cortex.Many clusters of calcium oxalate were found in the phloem
with fibers disseminated outside the phloem.Single vessel and 2-3 vessels together were observed in the xylem.The pith was quite wide
equal to 3/4 of the radius of the cross section.In the cross section of the leaf
it could be observed that collateral bundles were interval ring-shaped in the main vein vascular
and some square crystals in the parenchyma cells.Result:Many spiral vessels
fibers
clusters of calcium oxalate and a few square crystals were found in the powder.Conclusion:The plant has obvious pharmacognostic characteristics.These results as above can be used for identification and further application of P.edulis.
