Abstract
Korean folk medicine 'No Ru Gui' has been used to cure fracture and bruise. The botanical origin of the crude drug has never been studied pharmacognostically. To clarify the botanical origin of 'No Ru Gui', the morphological and anatomical characteristics of Hepatica species growing in Korea, i.e. H. asi-atica, H. insularis, H. maxima were studied. As a result, 'No Ru Gui' was proved to be the whole plant body of Hepatica asiatica and H. insularis.
