MACROSCOPIC AND MICROSCOPIC CHARACTERIZATION OF THE AERIAL PARTS OF TRIBULUS ALATUS (ZYGOPHYLLACEAE) GROWING IN EGYPT
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Tribulus alatus is a promising medicinal plant. Macroscopic and microscopic studies were carried out on leaflet, rachis, stem and fruit as well as powdered aerial parts. Powder microscopy revealed the presence of anomocytic stomata, numerous non glandular unicellular trichomes with different sizes, large cluster crystals of calcium oxalate, pericyclic fibers and lignified xylem vessels of leaflet, rachis and stem, in addition to sclerides of the fruit. The results of this study will provide a valuable tool for identification and quality control of the plant.
