In natural conditions, chinensis found in subtropical forests China, Korea and Japan. Nowadays, plant widely cultivated European countries. Leaves exhibit antioxidant,cytostatic effect, flowers inhibit growth tubercle bacilli. The seeds are used medicine to treat cardiovascular diseases as diuretic. Aim. To study macro- microscopic features leaves for standardization medicinal raw material development quality control method. Materials methods. object was harvested period mass flowering Kyiv region Autonomous Republic Crimea. morphological were studied visually. Preparations leaf surface prepared according conventional Results discussion. main anatomical have been determined. Macroscopic include complex unpaired that common petiole its continuation – rachis, on which there five pairs opposite one apical one. large, do not toothed edge, pubescent at first, but eventually become smooth; signs dorso-ventral type theleaf blade structure. epidermis covered with cuticle. cells upper parenchymal, slightly convoluted, evenly thickened membranes. Above vein, prosenchymal, elongated along vein. lower represented by various shapes, parenchymal or having somewhat shape, sinuous-walled, polygonal. Stomata frequent oval. stomatal apparatus anisocyte type.
