당귀의 해부형태학적 특징에 따른 기원판별

Abstract

For discrimination the origns and the commercial herb mdicines of three Angelicae Radixes(Dangui), anatomical characters of leaves, petioles, and root cross-section were investigated and those were compared each other. The key or discrimination of these herb medicines was made by below simple characters: development of periderm, absent and present of collenchyma under the periderm, and distribution of latex tube in cortex. The result of discrimination for the commercial herb medicines based on the discrimination key, Angelicae gigantis Radix (Angelica Gigas Root), Angelicae Raix (Japanese Angelica Root), and Radix Angelicae Sinensis (Danggui) were correctly identified for Angelica gigas Nakai, A. acutiloba Kitagawa, and Angelica sinensis (0liv.) Diels., respectively. Consequently, anatomical characters could be utilized for useful method to discriminate three Angelicae Radixes (Danggui)
