Remarks | In Korea, the main product of Fupenzi is the immature or mature fruit of Rubus crataegifolius (Jap. name: Kumaichigo). Slight contamination of immature fruit of R. parvifolius L. var. adenochlamys (Focke) Migo (Jap. name: Karanawashirokiichigo) was found in some commercial products. We found that the mature fruit of R. coreanus Mig. (Jap. name: Tokkuriichigo) were used at a local hospital in southern Korea (B4). The fruit of R. crataegifolius in Korea was different in morphology from that of Japanese congener. R. chingii (Jap. name: Goshoichigo), the original plant of Chinese Fupenzi at present, belongs to "Shumei" (樹苺), and it was replaced with Fupenzi, the original plant of R. coreanum in the early Qing Dynasty, according to the research of herbalism. The actual Fupenzi in Korea is also a substitute (B5). | ||||||
