Panax japonicus

Panax japonicus is a species of ginseng known for its bamboo-shaped, uneven-sized roots. [2] [3] It is found throughout Japan and Korea, [1] and is also said to be endangered in China. [4]

Panax japonicus sees some use in Japanese Kampo medicine [5] [6] and traditional Chinese medicine. [3] Like other ginsengs, it contains a number of ginsenosides. [7]

There is no English-language literature on its cultivation, though Baeg et al. (2013) lists it among cultivated ginseng species. [2] There is, however, a considerable volume of Chinese literature on its cultivation under the name Zhújiéshēn. [8] [9]

Varieties

Flora of China cites Panax japonicus var. major(Burkill) C. Y. Wu & K. M. Feng as a variety of this species, [10] though Plants of the World Online treats it as a synonym of Panax bipinnatifidus var. bipinnatifidus. [11] cpDNA analysis supports the affiliation of the variety with P. j. This variety is also used in traditional Chinese medicine [12] under the name Zhūzĭshēn. There is also a large amount of Chinese literature on its cultivation. [13]
