AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify the actual plant known as "Daibaijie," a commonly used herb in traditional medicine.
- Using various analytical methods including literature review and molecular biology, the researchers found that the initial scientific name, Dregea sinensis, was incorrectly assigned to Daibaijie.
- The findings reveal that Daibaijie is actually Marsdenia tenacissima, highlighting that previous descriptions and illustrations in botanical texts are inaccurate.
Article Abstract
Objective: To identify the original plant of "Daibaijie", commonly used Dai herb.
Method: The literature review, morphology and anatomy, pharmacognosy, molecular biology, chemistry were used to analysis.
Result: Daibaijie's historical scientific name, Dregea sinensis Hemsl., was mistakenly given "Daibaijie" and D. sinensis have significant differences from the distribution, morphology and anatomy, pharmacognosy, molecular biology and chemical composition. "Daibaijie" matches with the characteristics of Marsdenia tenacissima (Roxb.) Moon in Flora of China in English.
Conclusion: Daibaijie's original plant is M. tenacissima (Roxb.) Moon. The description and illustration of M. tenacissima (Roxb.) Moon in Flora of China in China are wrong. The illustration of M. tenacissima in Flora of China in English is wrong too.
