Korean folk medicine 'Ggeong Yi Da Ri' has been used mainly as remedies for stomach trouble, bruise and neuralgia. The botanical origin of the crude drug has not been studied pharmacognostically. To clarify the botanical origin of 'Ggeong Yi Da Ri', the morphology and anatomy of leaf and stem were examined for the Korean species of Thalictrum plants, such as T. acetaefolium, T. aquilegifolium, T. filamentosum, T. minus var. hypoleucum, T. minus var. stipellatum and T. rochebrunianum. The botanical origin of 'Ggeong Yi Da Ri' was clarified as the leaf and stem from Thalictrum aquilegifolium and T. filamentosum.
