RemarksThe roots of Serratula chinensis S. Moore of family Compositae are used in southern China (Guangshengma). The rhizome of Aruncus sylvester Kostel of family Rosaceae may dilute Shengma derived from genus Cimicifuga rhizoma. Care should be taken with the rhizome of Strobilanthes forrestii Diels of family Acanthaceae that has been distributed as Shengma (fake) in China recently.
