Microscopic analysis of new medicinal plants is an important partition of modern science which provides an opportunity to evaluate the identity of object. This research presents the results of macro- and microscopic analysis of sprouts, leaves, inflorescences, calyx and corolla of Prunella vulgaris, collected in the flowering phase on the territory of the Ulytau mountains (Ulytau region, Republic of Kazakhstan). The purpose of this study is to determine the features of the morphological and anatomical structures of the above-ground part of Prunella vulgaris and to reveal diagnostic signs at the macro- and microscopic level. Microscopic analysis of the above-ground part of Prunella vulgaris, the diagnostic features of raw materials at the microscopic level were determined, including the shape of the stem in a cross section, the structure of the leaf epidermis, the presence of trichomes and essential-oil-bearing glands. The results obtained can serve as the basis for the development of a draft RD for medicinal plant material and can be used to identify above-ground part of Prunella vulgaris.
