During a systematic survey of higher plants for their fungitoxicity, the flowers of Rosa chinensis Jacq. were found to exhibit strong antifungal properties. On chemical investigation the antifungal priniciple was isolated as a shining, needle-shaped cyrstalline substance. It was identified as gallic acid. It exhibited fungistatic action against as many as 17 fungi at 3% concentration.
在对高等植物进行真菌毒性的系统调查过程中，发现月季花具有很强的抗真菌特性。经化学研究，抗真菌成分被分离为一种有光泽的针状结晶物质，鉴定为没食子酸。它在3%的浓度下对多达17种真菌表现出抑菌作用。
