Abstract

The genus Epimedium (family Berberidaceae), is distributed widely in eastern Asia, the Middle East, the Himalayas, and Europe (Stearn 1938). In Europe, these plants are mainly cultivated for horticulture, whereas in eastern Asia, some Epimedium species have been used as a crude drug. In China, the aerial parts of E. brevicornum Maxim, E. saggitatum (Sieb. et Zucc.) Maxim, E. pubescens Maxim, and E. koreanum Nakai are described in The Chinese Pharmacopeia as ‘Yinyanghuo’ and used as a tonic, and for curing rheumatism, paralysis, and involutional hypertension (Jiang Su Sin Medical College 1977a). In Japan, the aerial parts of E. grandiflorum Morr. var. thunbergianum (Miq.) Nakai, E. sempervirens Nakai, E. koreanum Nakai, and E. diphyllum Morr. et Decne. (Fig. 1) are used mainly as a tonic (Namba 1980). In China, the underground parts of Epimedium species are also used for treating asthmatic fits and menstrual irregularity (Jiang Su Sin Medical College, 1977b).
