【 摘 要 】

The fruits of Cordia sellowiana Cham. and Cordia myxa L. utilized like emollients, demulcents, antitussive and expectorants have been morphological and anatomically studied aiming the pharmacognostic diagnosis. Subsides have been offered to the identification of the vegetable organs in nature and as crude drug. Phytochemical screening detected the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and mucilages. Due to the existence of mucilages the intumescence index of the fruits has been determined.
