Rezumat

Yellow melilot, Melilotus officinalis, belongs to the Fabaceae family. It is abundantly found in Romania. The microscopic analysis of plant material from herbal tea was carried out in the current study. Microscopic evaluation based on the characteristic features of cells, calcium oxalate crystals, trichomes, fibres, vessels, etc. is useful in the initial identification of herbs, as well as for the detection of adulterants, followed by chemical qualitative and quantitative analysis of the raw plant material.
