[Objective]To establish a simple and easy identification method for six kinds of Callicarpa medicinal herbs,to ensure the clinical medication safety,and to provide references for the quality control of Callicarpa medicinal herbs. [Methods] Character identification,semimicroscopic identification and microscopic identification were used to identify the six kinds of Callicarpa medicinal herbs. [Results]In external characters,they were identified mainly through color,hair and morphological characteristics. In microscopical characters,they were identified though the form,distribution and quantity of glandular hairs and nonglandular hair; crystal types in leaves were used for supplementary identification of Callicarpa medicinal herbs. [Conclusions] Characters identification method could identify several Callicarpa medicinal herbs,while some varieties were difficult to distinguish. Different kinds of Callicarpa could be identified by using semi-microscopic identification and microscopic identification methods to observe the morphological features and distribution characteristics of glandular hairs,non-glandular hairs and crystals. An accurate,rapid and economical microscopic identification method was important to identify leaves of different varieties of Callicarpa.
