[ character ]
Character identification : This product is slightly flat and rectangular, length 1-1.5cm, width 4-7mm, thickness of 2-3mm, surface with brown to black brown, with uneven Glyph shape, a class of round, irregular striation and point-like protrusions; end of triangular protrusions, the other end is thin, slightly wedge-shaped, while in the central micro concave ( it ); both sides slightly truncate, margin slightly convex in the microwave curved, middle has 1 longitudinal edges. Testa leathery, kernel by dark green film, have to leaves 2, milky white, rich and oily. Gas micro, bitter taste, a sense of nausea.
Microscopic identification: seed transverse: from outside to inside, decadent layer by testa and cotyledon. Testa including cuticle, epidermis, cortex, stone cell layer ( sclerenchyma ) and ventilation layer of tissue (parenchyma ). Horny layer of colorless transparent, meets the Sultan III was dyed orange red, thick about 10 u m, easily connected with the epidermal layer separation. Epidermal layer consists of 1 columns of square or slightly tangential rectangle thin-walled cells, closely arranged, often with brown substance; subcortical ( pigment layer ) cell progression, cell oval tangentially extending, round or irregular shape, wall some slightly bulbous thickening, with sizes ranging from a single pit; stone cell layer is composed of 1 columns of closely arranged radially extending rectangular stone cell wall composition, extremely thick, layer obviously, strongly lignified cell types, rectangular, branched or unbranched, obvious ventilation apertures; tissue layer of parenchyma cells of about 10 columns, the foreign on stone cell layer of the 1-2 columns of cells are small and closely arranged, intermediate columns of cells of large, irregularly shaped, arranged loosely, gap size, cells containing chloroplasts, the inner 1 columns of cells are smaller, the side wall and the inner wall is irregular. Endosperm cell decadent shape, multiple compressed into 1 columns of cells are flat and rectangular, to extend the cut. Long 10-20 m, about 2 m. Cotyledons developed, its epidermal cells 1, small, class of rectangular, to extend the cut; mesophyll cells to extend the multipath, containing many of the aleurone and fatty oil.
Dissociation of tissue: 1 easy peeling horny layer of large, visible just parallel texture.
2 epidermal cells were polygonal, diameter 20-70 m, closely arranged, with brown substance.
3 cortical cell is spherical or nearly cylindrical, brown, ca. 35 m, width of about 15 m, wall thickness, lignified, with sizes ranging from a single pit or a mesh.
4 stone cell layer cells are polygonal or circular, closely arranged, with scalloped edge embedded links, wall thickness, strongly lignified, with apertures.
5 Green ventilation organization of the cell is spherical, oval, saccate or a branched, loosely arranged, wall thickness, diameter of 10-80 m, including oval chloroplasts, cell gap.
6 endosperm cell surface view showed a minimal square or rectangular, thin cell diameter of 10-20 ~ M.
7 cotyledons cell by diameter of thin-walled cells, containing abundant lipid droplets and aleurone grains.
[ ] the seeds of Herpetospermum chemical composition containing aldehyde ( herpetal ) [1 ], coniferyl alcohol ( coniferylalcohol ), Herpetospermum pedunculosum three alcohol ( herpetoriol ) [2 ], wave edge three alcohol ( herpetriol ) and wave edge four alcohol (herpeietrol ) [3 ].
Discrimination [ ]
1 take the powder 2G, plus 30ml ethanol, to dilute hydrochloric acid leaching filtrate, return 30 minutes, 15ml, 5% ammonia solution to neutral, evaporated to dryness on the water bath, plus 5% 10ml sulfate dissolved, in 5 test tubes, each take the leachate 1ml, respectively, of mercury, potassium iodine solution potassium iodide TS, silicotungstic acid, picric acid, tannic acid solution solution was the 1-2, which in turn produces white, red brown, gray, yellow, brown precipitate. ( check the alkaloids ) 2 take the powder 2G, plus ether 40ml, in water bath reflux for 10 minutes, remove ether liquid, methanol 40ml dissolved residue, water return 10 minutes, placed after filtration, and leachate 3ml, division 3 porcelain evaporating dish, evaporated to dryness on the water bath, for the following test: 2.1 vinegar crisps. Sulfuric acid ( 19: 1) was 1ml, blending, color from yellow - red - Purple - green, the last significant pollution green.
2.2. Adding glacial acetic acid dissolved 1ml, plus acetyl chloride and zinc chloride 5 drops of crystal particle, a water bath heating, damask.
2.3. 1ml dissolved with chloroform, into the test tube, and sulfuric acid 1ml, chloroform layer was blue, the observed under an ultraviolet lamp: chloroform layer showed green fluorescence, later sulfate layer also significantly green fluorescent.
[ ] the taste of bitter cold;
[ ] Qinggan Lidan Jianpi functions; to help transport. The main infectious hepatitis; cholecystitis; dyspepsia
[ usage]: orally taken decoction, 1.5-3g, or into the pill, powder.
