In central Taiwan, Chinese crude drug "Weilingxian" (威霊仙) with big roots, i.e., more than 5 mm in diameter, is available. "Weilingxian" derived from the underground portion of Clematis chinensis OSBECK of Ranunculaceae, which has many fibrous roots, is used commonly in this country. The small roots and lateral roots in the crude drug have some similarities fundamentally to the root of Clematis species having fibrous roots. Therefore, to clarify the botanical origin of this crude drug, the comparative anatomical study was made on the crude drug and on the roots of Clematis uncinata CHAMP., C. alsomitrifolia HAYATA, C. tashiroi MAXIM., and C. leschenaultiana DC. and "those species have the similar roots to the crude drug in shape. The result shows that the botanical origin of "Weilingxian" from central Taiwan is C. uncinata. Moreover, "Weilingxian" from Fuchien (福建) of continental China is quite similar to the underground portions of these species, in shape. This crude drug proved to be the underground portion of Clematis alsomitrifolia anatomically.
