초록

Korean folk medicine 'Man Byung Cho' has been used to cure abdominal pain, athlete's foot and neuralgia. The botanical origin of the crude drug has never been studied pharmacognostically. To clarify the botanical origin of 'Man Byung Cho', the leaf morphology and anatomy were examined for the Korean species of Rhododendron subgenus Hymenanthes, such as R. brachycarpum G. Don, R. brachycarpum var. rosueum Koidz. and R. aureum Georgi. The study shows that 'Man Byung Cho' is the leaf of R. brachycarpum and R. brachycarpum var. roseum.
