Anatomical Markers for Identification and Standardization of Crataegus mexicana, Commercially Marketed as “Raíz de Tejocote”
The anatomical comparison indicates that the market sample does not match the root or stem characters of <i>C. mexicana</i>. This comparative anatomical profiling can serve as a reliable authentication parameter, especially if the sample is taken for quality check as a whole, cut and sifted, or coarse powder form, based on the wood characteristics, xylem vessel and fiber characteristics provided.
