In China, the Chinese crude drug "Pu gong ying (蒲公英)," which has been used for the women's acute mastitis, urinary troubles, edemas, etc., is prepared mainly from Taraxacum plants (Compositae). In Japan, the crude drug "Hokoei" (蒲公英), which has been used for stomach troubles in folk medicine, is the underground parts of Taraxacum plants. However, the botanical origin of "Hokoei" has not been clear. So, in order to identify the botanicalorigin of "Hokoei," a comparative anatomical study of the undergound parts of Taraxacum plants from Shikoku, Kyushu, Kinki and Chugoku districts was carried out. In this paper the anatomical structure of the underground parts of Taraxacum plants is investigated, which clearly shows that the botanical origin of most of Shikoku (四国) "Hokoei" is T. japonicum KOIDZUMI.
