Abstract

Objectives : External form and internal intersection of Phragmites communis were observed by the parts of usage (leaves, stems, and roots). Methods : The slice of the tested material made by paraffin section technique was colored with Safranine Malachite Green contrast methods, and then observed and photographed by olymphus-BHT. Results : 1. The intersection of Phragmitis Folium was typically characterized as Gramineae plants, which was perfectly distinguished with Phragmitis Rhizoma and Phragmitis Caulis. 2. The cortex of Phragmitis Rhizoma has a large rectangular pore space, but Phragmitis Caulis does not. Conclusion : Phragmitis Folium, Phragmitis Caulis, and Phragmitis Rhizoma can be distinguished by microscope.
