However, the drug preserved in Shosoin, to be assumed as "Guijiu", has been reported to be similar to monocotyledon plants, particularly to the rhizome of Hosta plants of Liliaceae in the internal structures. In this paper, in order to further clarify the botanical origin of "Guijiu" in Shosoin, we compared its anatomical characteristics with those of underground parts of two Hosta species (H. plantaginea and H. ventricosa) from Jiangsu, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces of China. As a result, we have demonstrated that the drug "Guijiu" in Shosoin was derived from the underground part of H. plantaginea.
