- Abstract
[Objective] This study was conducted to investigate the microscopic identification characteristics of Jatropha curcas. $ Methods] Jatropha curcas was identified by microscopic identification. $ Results] The stem bark of J. curcas has a thick phellem layer and broad cortex layer; and there are a great deal of dispersed laticifers and many fibbers. The parenchymal ceUs contain clusters of calcium oxalate. In the powder, there are many clusters of calcium oxalate; the secreta is often dispersed; and the stomata are in parallel axle shape. Brown bodies can be seen commonly. $ Conclusion] The results of the microscopic identification are reliable. These characteristics could provide an effective basis for the differentiation of this plant from other plants in the same genus and the establishment of its quality standard.
