| Remarks | G. jasminoides has a lot of variants. They are called "Shanzhizi", "Shuizhizi", "Hongzhizi" and "Huangzhizi" according to the color or shape. "Shanzhizi" is the round hand type and "Shuizhizi" is the long hand type. Kuchinashi (Jap. name), a kind of Korinkuchinashi, is G. jasminoides Ellis forma grandiflora (Lour.) Makino. The Japanese Pharmacopoeia does not define Kuchinashi as a variant, but as a breed of G. jasminoides. The original plant of "Shuizhizi" is G. jasminoides Ellis forma longicarpa Z.W. Xie et Okada. "Shanzhizi" has been frequently used as a natural yellow dye since ancient times. | |||||
