Background
Chinese Name (pinyin): Fenbixie
Chinese Name :
Common Name :Hypoglaucous Collett Yam Rhizome
Specific Name : Rhizoma dioscoreae hypoglaucae
Scientific Name:
Collection : The drug is collected in autumn and winter, removed from the fibrous root, washed clean, cut into slices and dried in the sun.
Description : Irregularly thin slices, border uneven, varying in size, about 0.5 mm thick, some with brownish black or greyish brown outer bark. Slice yellowish white or pale greyish brown, vascular bundles scattered. Texture loose, slightly elastic, odor weak, taste pungent and slightly bitter.
Identification : 1.Transverse section: Suberized cells of more layers. Cortex narrow, cells tangentially elongated, walls slightly thickened, pits distinbct, mucilage cells scattered, containing raphides of calcium oxalate. Collateral and amphivasal vascular bundles scattered stele, parenchymatous cells walls slightly thickened with pits containing starch granules.Powder: Yellowish white, simple starch granules rounded ovoid or long elliptical, 5 - 32 µm in diameter up to 450 µm long, hilum pointed or cleft like, compound granules less, mostly composed of two components. Sclerenchymatous cells abundant, walls lignified, pits distinct, some similar to stone cells, polygonal, fusiform or sub rectangualr. 40 - 80 µm in diameter up to 224 µm long. Raphides of calcium oxalate 64 - 84 µm long.2.Macerate 10 g of the powder in 100 ml of water overnight, heat on a water bath at 60ºC for 10 minutes, filter while hot. Measure the filtrate each of 2 ml to two test tubes. To one tube add 2 ml of sodium hydroxide TS and to another tube add 2 ml of hydrochloric acid solution (1Õ20) stopper well. Shake vigorously for 1 minute, the foam produced in the alkaline solution in several times higher than that produced in acid solution.
