Instructions for the procurement of raw wild-growing medicinal plant materials usually give the characteristics of the appearance of plants, namely: possible impurities. This information is inadequate to establish impurities in the raw materials. The morphological and anatomical signs of yellow sweet clover (Melilotus officinalis) and possible nonprocured impurities, such as Arctic clover (Melilotus albus) and dentated melilot (Melilotus dentatus), were comparatively analyzed. The diagnostic signs of the raw material, which are characteristic of its appearance and anatomical structure, were revealed.
