RemarksFruits of Berberis sp. (Berberidaceae) produced in Shandong Prov., or fruits of Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb. of family Elaeagnaceae (Jap. name: Akigumi or Japanese Shanzhuyu), are sometimes available in the market as fakes. Since the medicinal benefits are completely different from the real one, they should be used carefully.
