Introduction. Black chokeberries (Aronia melanocarpa) have a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities. The plant in Russia is known only in culture. Different released chokeberry cultivars are used for their procurement. To date, there have been no data from comparative studies of the external and anatomical signs of chokeberries of different varieties. Objective: to investigate variability in the diagnostic signs of black chokeberries in relation to their variety and place of their growth. Material and methods. The investigation objects were dried black chokeberries of the varieties Michurinskaya, Altaiskaya macrocarpous, Venisa, and Viking. Macroscopic and microscopic examinations were made in accordance with the procedures described in the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation XIII edition (RF SP XIII). Results. The morphological features of chokeberries of different varieties were characterized. The main anatomical characteristics of the dried chokeberries of different varieties were identified; their biometric characteristics were given. Conclusion. Variability was found in all the diagnostic characteristics of black chokeberries of the 4 varieties.
