Abstract

Korean folk medicine 'DeungNaMu' has been used mainly to cure apoplexy, pain of the stapes and tonic for weak man. With regard to the botanical origin of DeungNaMu, it has been considered to be Wisteria species of Leguminosae, but there was no pharmacognostical confirmation on it. To clarify the botanical origin of 'DeungNaMu', the anatomical characteristics of the branches of Wisteria species growing wild in Korea, Wisteria japonica and W. japonica forma. alba were studied. As a result, it was clarified that DeungNaMu was the branches of Wisteria japonica.
