Remarks- In China, the fruit of Crataegus cuneata Sieb. et Zucc. (Jap. name: Sanzashi) is called Nanshanzha. The fruits of C. pinnatifida Bunge (Jap. name: Ōsanzashi) and C. pinnatifida Bunge var. major N.E. Brown (Jap. name: Ōmisanzashi) are called Beishanzha. The Japanese Pharmacopoeia difines Sanzashi and Ōmisanzashi, while the Chinese Pharmacopoeia defines Ōmisanzashi and Ōsanzashi. There are many agrotypes in Ōsanzashi, which are used for food.
- In Europe, the extract of leaves and flowers of C. monogyna Jacq. and C. laevigata (Poiret) DC. (both are not classified in Japan and called just Seiyōsanzashi) are used as cardiac, antihypertensive and antiasthenic drug. It is applied to treat coronary artery diseases, arteriosclerosis, senile diseases and so on. The fruit of Seiyōsanzashi is also used in the same way.
