| Remarks | The Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China defines Polygonatum kingianum, P. sibiricum, P. cyrtonema as the original plant of Huangjing. However, more than 10 kinds of congeners are used in the Chinese market, such as P. odoratum, P. macropodium, which are the original plants of Yuzhu. Though the benefit of Huangjing is similar to that of Yuzhu (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma), the former has the advantage of invigorating qi and the latter has the advantage of invigorating yin. Clinically, they are used differently. | ||||||
