RemarksThe Chinese pharmacopoeia (2020 ed.) defines the aerial part of Epimedium brevicornum Maxim., E. sagittatum Maxim., E. pubescense Maxim. and E. koreanum Nakai as "Yinyanghuo" (淫羊藿).
The ones produced in Sichuan Prov. are mainly E. Pubescens, E. acuminatum Franch., E. wushanense, E. sutchuenense Franch. and E. davidii Franch.
The ones from northeastern China and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula are thought to be E. koreanum Nakai, and E. cremeum Nakai (Jap. name: Kibanaikarinsō).
Japanese ones are the dried aerial part or the leaves of E. grandiflorum Morr. var. thunbergianum Nakai (Jap. name: Ikarisō, from Nagano Pref.) and E. sempervirens Nakai var. hypoglaucum Ohwi (Jap. name: Urajiroikarisō, from Niigata Pref.). In Japan, the underground part is called "Ikarisō kon" and is sold separately. (B2)
