According to the on-site inspection and literature sorting in Tibet, Sichuan and Qinghai province, at present there are (swertia L,) (Halenin Borkh,) (Saxifraga) in the Tibet, they always use several plants in their place, and the former is main, so, we study about 6 kinds of the (swertia L.)and the (Gentianopsis. paludosa (Hook. f. ) Ma,() Comastoma. pulmonarium )and the (Swertia. Elata, )so we study all of them, aim to use it as the substitute of the Artemisiae, and to solve the lack problem. We have investigated about the resource, and carried about pharmacognostical study, determined about several xanthenone. The result is as follows:1. Investigation about the resources of the artemisiaes: carry about pharmacognostical study, and find the identification in the shapes, character and the micros. We have made character identification key and micro character contrast chart. It offers solid pharmacognosy proof to develop and expand new drugs and make sure the clinic safe, valid and the further study.2. Pharmacognosy identification of the 10 plants used as the artemisiaes: we have collected the samples and specimens of Artemisiae, and took photos of them. We found that there are 10 species and 3 varieties, which is mussot swertia herb, crowded-stem swertia herb, Qilian swertia herb and so on.
