"Koan-Ian-high" (官蘭葉) has been used in Taiwan as a folk remedy for the treatment of cough, as a tonic of lung and gastrointestine, as a sedative, as a diuretic etc. "Koan-lan-high" was assumed to be derived from the entire plant of Cymbidium formosanum HAY., C. lancifolium Hoox. f. and C. rubrigemmum HAY. [=C. ensifolium (L.) Sw. var. misericors (HAY.) T.P. LIN] of Orchidaceae. However, this has not been proved yet. To clarify its botanical origin, the comparative anatomy of the leaves, pseudobulbs, and roots of Cymbidium species growing generally in Taiwan was examined. The results show that "Koan-lan-hioh", as sold on the Taiwan market, is derived from the entire plant of C. ensifolium var. misericors. The morphological characteristics of "Koan-lan-hioh" and the entire plant of related Cymbidium species are shown in TABLE I and II.
