SynopsisThis book describes 429 of the most commonly used Chinese medicinals. The names of the medicinal materials follow the 2005 Chinese Pharmacopoeia, with additional nomenclature based on domestic and international market research. The medicinals are organized based on the plant part used in medicine, e.g., roots and rhizomes (137), stems and woods (19), barks (15), leaves (17), flowers (24), fruits and seeds (110), whole herbs (42), seaweeds, fungi, resins, and other categorizations (19), as well as animal products (32) and minerals (14). Each medicinal monograph includes the name of the medicinal material (in Chinese, Pinyin, and Pharmaceutical Latin); its origin; its production regions (including the primary distribution regions for wild medicinals); traditional harvesting and post-harvesting details; properties and functions (nature, flavor, and traditional actions); key distinguishing features and traditional quality requirements; decoction pieces; and further notes. Each medicinal includes fine photographic images and illustrations of the raw medicinal materials and decoction pieces. Where magnified, a reference scale is added. Voucher specimens of all of the photographed medicinals are deposited at the Bank of China (Hong Kong) Chinese Medicines Centre at Hong Kong Baptist University. There are additionally photographs of the primary medicinals in their natural environment, and a small number of illustrative images from ancient texts. The index lookups can be done using Pinyin, Latin Pharmaceutical, or Latin binomial searches. All measurements conform to the international standard metric system.
