Abstract

Morphological and microscopic examination of the bark, leaves and seeds of Euonymus europaeus L. is presented in the study. The plant has an antioxidant, insecticidal, antimicrobial action. Euonymus europaeus L. can be a potential source of biologically active compounds. The purpose of the work was to determine the diagnostic features for the correct identification of plant materials. Light microscopy was used in the study. As a result, the morphological analysis of the raw material was carried out, the anatomical structure of the leaf, the leaves upper and lower epidermis, type of stomata, cross sections of the bark and seeds were investigated.
