Three kinds of Bupleuri Radix were found in Taiwan. To clarify their origins, histological studies were carried out to identify their internal and external structures. It was found that Bupleuri Radix or "Chai-hu" of Taiwan is derived from roots of the following species" 1, Bupleurum chinense which was imported from China, 2, Bupleurum falcatum var. komarowi a cultivated production of Japanese origin, and 3, Bupleurum kaoi which is indigenous to Taiwan. These Bupleuri Radix were easily assigned by anatomical characteristics and their qualitative analysis of active principle - saikosaponin were established by TLC.
在台湾发现了三种柴胡。为了阐明它们的来源，进行了组织学研究以鉴定其内部和外部结构。结果发现，台湾的柴胡或“柴胡”源自以下物种的根：1. 从中国进口的柴胡；2. 日本原产的栽培品种窄叶柴胡变种；3. 台湾本土的高氏柴胡。这些柴胡很容易通过解剖学特征进行鉴别，并且通过薄层色谱法建立了其有效成分柴胡皂苷的定性分析方法。
