Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer (ginseng) and its two congeners, P. notoginseng (Burk.) F. H. Chen (Sanchi ginseng) and P. quinquefolium L. (American ginseng), are well-known plant drugs which have been widely used in many countries of the world, especially in Asia and North America. These are now cultivated plants, differentiating them from a variety of wild Panax spp., which are morphologically related and distributed from Japan to the Eastern Himalayas. Comparative studies on the saponin composition of P. ginseng and other Panax spp. have been elaborated extensively in view of pharmacological and chemotaxonomical interest.1,2 |
