近来,曾出现锦葵科圆叶锦葵、蜀葵等植物的根伪充黄芪销售使用。今又发现,有药贩将豆科植物刺果甘草Glycyrrhiza PallidifloraMaxim.的根冒充黄芪,大量销售于市场;也有不少医疗单位使用于临床。由于黄芪与刺果甘草性状区别小,而性味、成分、功能主治有一定的差异。并且对刺果甘草的鉴别,文献不曾报道,为此,笔者作了性状、显微和理化鉴别的初试工作,现报道如下。 Recently, the roots of Malvaceae families such as mallow, hollyhock and other plants have been used for sale. Today, it has also been discovered that some drugstores have sold the roots of Glycyrrhiza Pallidiflora Maxim., a leguminous plant, into the market, and many of them have been used clinically. Because the difference between Astragalus and Glycyrrhiza glabra traits is small, there are certain differences in sexual taste, composition, and function indications. As for the identification of thorny licorice, the literature has not been reported. For this reason, the author made a preliminary test of traits, microscopic and physicochemical identification. The report is as follows.
