      • Commercial classification
      • Morphological classification (Trees, Shrubs, and Climbers)
      • Pharmacological classification
    • Examples of plants classified by growth habit:
      • Cassia fistula (Tree)
      • Ceratonia siliqua (Tree)
      • Lavandula (Shrub)
      • Jasminum (Climber)
    • Examples of plants classified by morphological classification:
      • Vinca, Datura, Hyoscyamus, and Belladona (Leaves)

      • Tea and Coffee (Stimulant Plants)
      • Buckwheat and Rue (Anti-capillary fragility)

    Chemical Classification

    • Plants can be classified by their chemical composition:
      • Glycosides (e.g., Digitalis)
      • Alkaloids (e.g., Datura)
      • Fixed oils (e.g., Sunflower)
      • Volatile oils (e.g., Mentha)
    • Examples of plants containing glycosides:
      • Willow bark (Salicin)
      • Aloe vera and cinnamic plants (Sinoside)

    Storage and Preservation of Medicinal Plants

    • Medicinal plant materials should be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent decomposition.
    • Fumigation can be used to prevent insect infestation.
    • Humidity should be kept below 6% to prevent the growth of fungus and bacteria.
    • Materials containing volatile components should be stored in airtight containers.
    • Insects can be resisted in storage by using heat or fumigation.
