AB  - OBJECTIVE: The microscopic structure and histochemical localization of the 
      Polygonatum sibiricum, P. cytonema, P. filipes, P. zanlanscianense and P. 
      odoratum was studied. METHOD: Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and digital 
      biological microscope (DBM) were applied in the research. RESULT: Venation bundle 
      showed in three types included collateral, amphivasal and incomplete amphivasal 
      bundles. Morphological differences of venation bundles could be seen under the 
      fluorescence microscope. Calcium oxalate existed in the mucilage cells looked 
      similar to columnar crystals under SEM. In rhizome of Polygonatum, 
      polysaccharides presented in mucilage cells, saponins and volatile oil were found 
      in ground tissue. CONCLUSION: Microstructure difference of rhizomes would be used 
      for identification of the Polygonatum plants. Polysaccharides and saponins are 
      distributed in different cells of Polygonatum plants.
