| Abstract:
A morpho-anatomical study of 5 Argentinean non-official medicinal plants (Bauhinia forficata subsp. pruinosa (Vog.) Fortunato et Wunderlin, Coronopus didymus (L.) Smith, Cuphea glutinosa Cham. et Schlecht., Euphorbia serpens Kunth and Fabiana imbricata Ruiz et Pav.) was carried out in order to determine the diagnostic characteristics for an adequate quality control. The article includes a monograph with illustrations for each species. The quality control of a set of commercial samples puts in evidence that only a 60% of them deserves to be commercialised. | |
