title: [Pharmacognostical studies on radix Glehniae (Glehnia littoralis)].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To identify the roots of Glehnia littoralis Fr. Schmidt ex Miq., and compare the chemical constituents of the root skin and the roots with no skin.
  
  
  METHODS
  The roots were identified by morphological and microscopic identification and TLC.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The characteristics of the secretory canal, ray and starch grain can be used to identify the histology and powder of the roots. The chemical constituents of the root skin and the roots with no skin are similar.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The characteristics of the morphology, histology and powder can be used to identify the roots of Glehnia littoralis (Radix Glehniae).
