Dendrobium species on the ancient Chinese herbal texts were investigated in this paper, including their dscriptions of original species, producing areas and quality. Our results indicated that the major producing areas were Lu'an, Anhui province and Wenzhou, Taizhou, Zhejiang province. In addition, the sweet flavor, short, thin and solid stems were standing for good quality. Based on the stable producing areas and quality descriptions, D. catenatum (D. officinale) ("Tiepi Shihu") and D. houshanense were high quality medicinal Dendrobium species ("Shihu" ) in ancient China. Besides, there were 3 scientific names for "Tiepi Shihu", including D. candidum, D. officinale, D. catenatum. After textual investigation, We suggest that D. catenatum should be its scientific name, and D. officinale was synonyms published later. However, the name "D. officinale" could be reserved as it is much more popular used in publication and commodities. Moreover, its Chinese name should be "Tiepi Shihu".
本文对中国古代本草典籍中的石斛品种进行了研究，包括其原植物描述、产地及品质。结果表明，主要产地为安徽省六安以及浙江省温州、台州。此外，味甜、茎短、细且坚实代表品质优良。基于稳定的产地及品质描述，铁皮石斛（D. catenatum (D. officinale)）和霍山石斛为中国古代优质药用石斛品种（“石斛”）。此外，“铁皮石斛”有3个学名，包括D. candidum、D. officinale、D. catenatum。经考证，建议以D. catenatum作为其学名，D. officinale为后来发表的异名。然而，“D. officinale”这个名称可予保留，因为它在出版物和商品中使用更为广泛。此外，其中文名应为“铁皮石斛”。
