| Remarks | "Muxiang" (木香) derived from the root of Saussurea lappa Clarke (= Aucklandia lappa) Decne. of family Compositae is the genuine, and was called "Qingmuxiang" (青木香, Jap. name: Seimokkō) in ancient times. The present "Qingmuxiang" is derived from the roots of Aristolochia debilis Sieb. et Zucc. (Jap. name: Umanosuzukusa) and Aristolochia contorta Bunge (Jap. name: Marubaumanosuzukusa) of family Aristolochiaceae. "Chuanmuxiang" (川木香, Jap. name: Semmokkō) is the root of Vladimiria souliei (Franch.) Ling, which is usually prepared by burning the root head. It was once used as "Cangmuxiang" (蔵木香, Jap. name: Zōmokkō) Inula racemosa Hook. f. erroneously. "Tumuxiang" (土木香, Jap. name: Domokkō) is the root of Inula helenium L. of family Compositae. Other "Yueximuxiang" (越西木香)" in Chinese market is the root of Vladimiria denticulata Ling. | ||||||
