Objective: To conduct pharmacognostic identification of Centipeda minima.
Methods: To conduct characteristic identification, micro-identification and TLC identification of Centipeda minima.
Results: We established a systematic pharmacognostic identification method including characteristic identification, micro-identification and TLC identification.
Conclusion: Brevilin is used as chemical reference firstly in TLC identification of Centipeda minima, and combined with characteristic identification and micro-identification, it will raise the rapidity and accuracy of the identification of Centipeda minima.
