Abstract:

Objective: To study systematicly and pharmacognostically on original plant paris vietnamensis of paris polyphylla
medicinal materials. Methods: Original plant morphology, properties, microscopy and powder were used in authenticating paris
vietnamensis, and HPLC was applied in measuring the content of its active ingredient. Results: The morphological characteristics,
rhizomes transverse section organization structures and powder characteristics of paris vietnamensis were described in detail. A good
linearity was demonstrated by in determination of saponins in paris vietnamensis. Conclusion: Through the physiochemical
identification of original plant, rhizome transection and powder for paris vietnamensis, this medicinal materials can be identified, which
can provide scientific basis of paris vietnamensis for its identification and further study.

Key words: paris vietnamensis, morphological identification, microscopic identification, physiochemical identification
