Abstract
Korean folk medicine 'GaJi' has been used to treat a boil, cough, mushroom poisoning and stomach cancer. The botanical origin of the crude drug has never been studied pharmacognostically. To clarify the botanical origin of 'GaJi', the morphological and anatomical characteristics of the stems of Solanum species growing in Korea, i.e. S. japonense Nakai, S. lyratum Thunb., S. melongena L., S. nigrum L. were compared. As a result, it was determined that GaJi was the stem of Solanum melongena L.
