RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To study the morphological character and microscopic identification of Embelia parviflora. METHODS: Researches on the morphological character and microscopic identification of roots and stems of Embelia parviflora were carried on respectively. RESULTS: Significant microscopic characteristics of Embelia parviflora were confirmed. Such as single stone cells scattered in the root cortical, lots of stone cell groups and fiber bundles scattered in the column parts and became ring intermittently. Stem phloem was broad, large scale secretory cells scattered near cambium region and stone cell groups in ray parts. Crystal stone cells of thick and thin could be seen in powder. CONCLUSION: These features can be used as the reference for quality standard of Embelia parviflora.
