Drug identification

Character identification

Characters are long tubular, not branched, 40-60cm long and 0.2-0.7cm in diameter. The surface is grayish green or yellow-green, with 18 to 30 longitudinal ribs. Most of the small, bright, verrucose projections are on the ribs. The section is obvious. The internode length is 2.5 to 9cm. There are raw cylindrical scaly leaves on the nodes, the base of the sheath and the sheath teeth. Dark brown, light brown in the middle. Lightweight, crisp, easy to break, hollow section, surrounded by a large number of small round cavity. Micro-gas, sweet, slightly astringent, chewing sand grains.

Microscopic identification

Powder gray green. Observed under the microscope: There are many fragments of stem epidermis, nearly colorless or pale yellow. The surface epidermal cells are rectangular or elongated, and the vertical wall is very thick and deep-waved. The cells contain yellow-brown pigment particles and the surface often has fissures. The longitudinal section is flat, rectangular, and the wall thickness is obvious. The outer wall of the cell protrudes outwards with a silicon nodule. The pores are deep-set, longitudinally arranged, round or oblong, 75-85 μm in diameter, and 75-108 μm in length. The inner wall of the guard cell has thickened strips that are mostly laterally parallel. Leaf sheath epidermal fragments yellow-brown or brown, cells are rectangular or rhomboid, cystic cells slightly thicker peripheral wall, deep wavy bend, trough cell wall is flat; pores are round, smaller. Most of the fiber bundles, often connected with the epidermis, the end wall oblique or truncated, the hole groove is clear, pits are small and sparse, herringbone or oblique seam-like. Labyrinth slender, large pit, oval. The endothelial cells are rectangular in shape and slightly thicker in wall, slightly wavy and shiny.
