(Jap. name: Shina-tampopo) as "Pugongying" (蒲公英). Others are T. erythropodium Kitag., T. ceratophorum DC., T. pseudo-albidum Kitag., T. pseudo-albidum Kitag. var. lutescens Kitag., T. ohwianum Kitam., T. dissectum Ledeb., T. asiaticum Dahlst., T. cuspidatum Dahlst., T. officinale Weber (Jap. name: Seiyō-tampopo) etc. The above plants are mainly used in northeastern and northern China. TMany commercial products are found to be contaminated. In southern China, the whole plant of Emilia sonchifolia (L.) DC. of family Compositae (Jap. name: Usubeninigana) or Elephantopus scaber L. is known as "Pugongying" or "Tugongying" (土公英) and used. In Yunnan Province, Picris divaricata Vent. is referred to as "Pugongying". In Taiwan, the whole plant of Ixeris chinensis (Thunb.) Nakai (Jap. name: Usagiso) is called "Pugongying". The whole plant of I. laevigata (Blume) Sch.-Bip. ex Maxim. var. oldhami (Maxim.) Kitam. (Jap. name: Atsubanigana) is also used in the same way. The Korean "Pugongying" is mainly the whole plant of T. mongolicum Hand.-Mazz. var. corniculatum Nakai (JP name: Keirin-tampopo), or T. asiaticum Dahlst. etc. In rare cases, the roots are also sold as "Pugongying-gen".
