(2) Man gossypium cucurbitae ovate lanceolate or elliptic lanceolate; capsule only dorsal, abdominal suture densely ciliate. All of them are better in terms of leaves, dryness, reddish color and no thick stems.

Microscopic identification

Gourd tea stem transverse section: triangular. Epidermal cells 1 column. The cortex is 4-5 columns of graphic parenchyma cells with 3-4 columns at the edges

Thick horny cells. The pleated sheath fibers break into loops. The phloem is narrow and bast fibers are scattered or bundled. Layer formation loop. The xylem occupies a larger part; the wood ray is 1-3 rows wide; the catheters are scattered individually or in several radial rows. Pyramidal triangle. The product parenchyma cells contain calcium oxalate crystals.

Leaf cross-section: The center of the upper surface has sharp ridges, and the dorsal midvein protrudes outward. There are 5 central vascular bundles and 3 lower ones, which are arranged in a meniscus or in a trough. The phloem is below the xylem and the top two are smaller. The phloem is located above the essence. The pilar fiber loops. Parenchyma cells contain calcium oxalate crystals.

Leaf surface view: The peristaltic wall of the epidermis is straight or wavy, with less stomata and furry. The epidermis cells are peristaltic. The glandular hairs are easy to see, glandular head 3 cells, diameter 15-20μm, gland stalk 2 cells. Two hundred non-glandular hairs, one single cell, up to 14μm, base diameter 30-50μm, wall thickness, verrucous projections on the surface; plus a 2-3 cell, length 60-85μm, diameter 8μm, wall Thin, curved and hooked at the top.

Physical and chemical identification

Take the product broken leaves 10g, with 70% ethanol reflux extraction 2 times, filtered. The filtrate was added with 3 drops of hydrochloric acid and a little zinc powder, and the solution was pink. (Check flavonoids)
