Background. In medical practice, dried berries Lycium chinense are used as an antiasthmatic, antirheumatic, antifebrile, antituberculosis, tonic remedy. Its leaves have a restorative and tonic effect, too. In this connection, introduction of Chinese wolfberry in the Middle Volga region for medicinal needs is of interest. The aim of the work is to carry out a pharmacognostic analysis of Lycium chinense phytomaterials.
Materials and methods. The material for the pharmacognosticserved study included fresh and air-dry leaves and ripe berries (whole and powdered raw materials) of 3 samples of different origin. Macromorphology examined visually and using the stereoscopic magnifying glass. Microscopy of unstained native and total preparations was performed using microscopes MIKMED-1, BIOMED-6 (magnification of 4, 10, 40).
Results and conclusions. The authors described the macro and micromorphological characteristics of leaves and fruit of Chinese wolfberry collection samples, the comparative morphometric analysis thereof. The researchers have revealed diagnostic features of 2 morphological groups of medicinal plants L. chinense, when grown on leached chernozems.
