title: [The microscopical and HPLC identification of several" Muxiang" raw materials].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To differentiate and identify several species of "Muxiang".
  
  
  METHODS
  The main microscopic features and HPLC chromatograms of diagnostic components were studied.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Distinguishable characters were found in two methods.
