RemarksChinese Xinyi is the dried flos of Magnolia biondii Pamp. (Jap. Name: Mokuren), M. liliflora Desr. (Jap. Name: Hakumokuren) or M. denudata Desr. Most Xinyis imported to Japan originate from M. biondii.
Japanese Xinyi is the dried flos of M. salicifolia (Jap. Name: Tamushiba). It is less puberulent and moisture. Therefore, the quality is inferior to Chinese one. Japanese Xinyi has been said to be M. kobus DC. (Jap. Name: Kobushi) in the past. However, it can not be found in the market now.
