title: [Microscopic identification of medicinal species of Acorus].
abstract: A study on the identification of commercial drugs of medicinal species of Acorus collected from 10 different areas had been carried out. The result showed that the commercial drugs were mainly derived from three species, i. e., Acorus tatarinowii, A. calamus L. and A. macrospadicesu (Yamamoto) F. N. Wei et Y. K. Li. With the digital imaging technique, the paper visually reflected the microscopic structures of medicinal plants of Acorus, and can be used for identifying the market drugs.
