Abstract
Microscopical characteristic study of two medicinal plants, Minusops elengi and Madhuca thorelii based on bark, wood and floral anatomy were investigated. The objective was to provide microscopical data of the standard database specify for Thai Herbal Pharmacopoeia. The research was carried out between August 2018 and September 2019. Plant materials were surveyed and collected in Ubon Ratchathani and Sri Sa Ket provinces. Transverse section of bark, wood and all floral parts was performed and stained with 1% Safranin O in water. Anatomical features were observed in a light microscopy. The results revealed that important characteristics of both species are (1) presence of rectangular cork cells in periderm, (2) presence of laticifer in bark, (3) diffuse–porous wood, (4) presence of trichomes at sepal, (5) presence of secretory cells in petal, (6) presence of one vascular bundle in filament, (7) anthers 4-celled and (8) 3-4 colporate pollen. These characteristic evidences are useful for the standard database of Thai Herbal Pharmacopoeia.
