There are two types of Chinese medicine, i.e., "Shihu" and "Tiepi shihu", using the stems of species of Dendrobium (Orchidaceae) as original materials. In order to understand species of Dendrobium using in Chinese medicine, taxonomic investigation and revision were performed. Our results indicated that about sixty species of sect. Dendrobium, sect. Formosae, and Sect. Stachyobium, are used as raw materials of "Shihu". Seven species of Dendrobium moniliforme complex and four species in Dendrobium officinale complex were recognized.
有两种中药，即“石斛”和“铁皮石斛”，以兰科石斛属植物的茎为原料。为了了解用于中药的石斛属植物种类，进行了分类学调查和修订。我们的结果表明，石斛组、台湾石斛组和瘦轴组的约60个物种被用作“石斛”的原料。确认了7种环草石斛复合群和4种铁皮石斛复合群中的物种。
