| Remarks | The Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China defines Xanthium sibiricum Patr. ( X. sibiricum Patrin ex Widder, by rights) as Cang'erzi (蒼耳子). The Flora of Japan, by Jisaburo Ohwi, treats it as a synonym of X. strumarium L. (Jap. name: Onamomi). Fruits of X. canadense Mill. (= X. occidentale Bertol.), Jap. name: Ōnamomi, are included in Japanese Cang'erzis. They are a naturalized plant from North America and distributed widely in western Japan recently. Though they substitute the existing Cang'erzi (Jap. name: Sōjishi), the quality is inferior. | |||||
