Abstract
AbstractThe microcharacters of the epicarp of medicinally important fruits of Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) have been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to identify them more accurately and to check for adulteration and substitution. The fruits selected were Ammi majus, A. visnaga, Anethum graveolens, A. sowa, Apium graveolens, Bunium persicum, Carum carvi, Coriandrum sativum, Foeniculum vulgare (tine and coarse forms) and Trachyspermum ammi. The epicarp surface structures under SEM prove useful in their identification and have pharmacognostic and systematic significance.
