Glycyrrhiza inflata is a Chinese plant species in the genus Glycyrrhiza , ^[3] A related species, G. uralensis, however, is more likely the licorice species one finds in traditional Chinese medicine.

Licochalcone A, licochalcone B and licochalcone D are chalconoids isolated from root of G. inflata ^{[4] [5]} as well as glycyrrhizin. ^[6]
