[Microscopic identification of the powder of roots of genus Adenophora: II. The roots of Sect. Remotiflorae and Sect. Adenophora].

This paper deals with the microscopic characteristics of the powder of the roots of 11 species and subspecies of Genus Adenophora. The results show that Sect. Basiphyllae, Sect. Pachydiscus, Sect. Remotiflorae and Sect. Adenophora can be identified based on the amount and thickness of the wall as well as the characteristics of the pit of sclerified cork cells, and 29 species, subspecies and varieties can be identified based on the amount, shape and thickness of the walls of the sclerified cork cells, the diameter and pit of the vessels, the number and shape of the secretion of the laticifers, and the number of inulin crystals.
