Abstract
Objective: This work is intended to provide you with information about pharmacognosy, herbs and medicinal plants Echinops L., structured from the main issues, such as macro-morphological features of organs leaves, to the deeper and more challenging questions, pharmacognosy as the analysis of active ingredients and other substances or compounds use and healing properties. Methods: Pieces of leaves were boiled on chloral hydrate solution - water (1:1) for 5-10 minutes to enlightenment. Then, the study objects were placed on a slide in a drop of glycerol and separated into two parts with dissecting needle. The object was covered with a cover glass. The object was viewed from both sides with the microscope. First, the object was viewed with a small (×180), then at high (×720), an increase by MS-300 microscope (MICROS, Austria) on the technique of microscopic and microchemical studies of medicinal plants. Results: This manuscript is intended to provide you with information about pharmacognosy, herbs and medicinal plants Echinops L., structured from the main issues, such as macro-morphological features of organs leaves, to the deeper and more challenging questions, pharmacognosy as the analysis of active ingredients and other substances or compounds use and healing properties. Conclusion: This work is offered as a study on the biological characteristics of medicinal plants to identify diagnostic markers and signs for the standardization of herbal medicines.
