RemarksThere are many varieties of peony. The origin of Mudanpi is complicated and the composition of the chemical component varies slightly according to the species. The Mudanpi without core, which is produced in Nara Prefecture, is good quality. The best product in China is produced at Tonglingfenghuangshan in Anhui Prov. which is called "Fenghuangmudanpi" or "Fengdanpi". The Japanese Pharmacopoeia defines Mudanpi as the one which contains not less than 1.0%(JP17) but 0.9%(JP18) of Paeonol.
