 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 Microscopic structure of Amaranthus spinosus 【Abstract】 Objective To further the development and utilization of quality standards developed Amaranthus spinosus reference. Methods for microscopic study of Amaranthus spinosus. The results are arranged in the roots of abnormal vascular intermittent 2 ~ 4; stem xylem conduit common connotation of phloem; leaf main vein vascular bundle 5 ~ 7; powder-like pollen grains are visible diffuse porous, glandular hairs, non-glandular and grass Calcium crystals. Conclusion Amaranthus spinosus micro-structure may be its further development, the development of quality standards to provide reference. Keywords: microscopic identification of Amaranthus spinosus Amaranthus spinosus Guangxi commonly used Chinese herbs, have received is contained in the “traditional Chinese medicine in Guangxi standard” [1], synonym of wild amaranth, amaranth soil, sow vegetables, wild ilicifolius Amaranthus, Cici grass, wild ilicifolius amaranth, Amaranthus Acid , gill amaranth. Its sweet, slightly cold, with a cooling blood to stop bleeding, heat-dampness, the efficacy of detoxification elimination carbuncle, attending bleeding, hematochezia, hemorrhoids blood, cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, diarrhea, hot and humid diarrhea, vaginal discharge, urinary astringent pain, sore throat, eczema, carbuncle swollen, gums erosion, snake bites [2]. Of its components, including flavonoid glycosides, amino acids, organic acids, sugars, α-spinach sterols, mixed saponins, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides and so on. Pharmacological experimental studies have shown that Amaranthus spinosus roots of n-butanol extract significant pain, bleeding, anti-inflammatory effects [3], and then found that some of its active ingredients as the saponin [4]. Clinical studies to observe the preparation of multiple hemorrhoids good results [5,6]. At present no microscopic characteristics of its reports, this study of the structure of its
