| Remarks | The real Muxiang (木香) is the root of Saussurea lappa Clarke (= Aucklandia lappa Decne.) of family Compositae. Chuanmuxiang (Jap. name: 川木香, Senmokkō) is generally processed by roasting the top of the root. In the past, it was erroneously applied to Inula racemosa Hook. f. (Jap. name: Zōmokkō). The congenetic root of Vladimiria denticulata Ling. is circulated in the Chinese market under the name of Yueximuxiang (越西木香). | |||||
