In order to develop a sirnple method for histological identification of Glycyrrhizae Radix, a comparative anatomical study and TLC analysis were carried out on the roots and rhizomes of G. uralensis, G. glabra, G. inflata, G. eurycarpa, G. aspera, G. yunnanensis, G. pallithflola and Sophora alopecuroides. As a result, eight species could be distinguished from one another by distinct characteristics such as height and width of multiseriate ray, the amount of xylem fiber, the arrangement of phloem fiber bands, the ratio of xylem to root/rhizome in diameter, etc. and TLC pattern. Based on this result, the botanical origins of commercial samples available in Japanese markets were identified as follows : "Dongbei-Gancao" was derived from G. uralensis or G. glabra, "Xibei-Gancao," G. glabra and "Xinjiang-Gancao," G. inflata., Article}, pages = {261--271}, title = {中国産「甘草」の生薬学的研究}, volume = {17}, year = {2000} }
