Recently, Saussurea lappa CLARK, the seeds of which had been introduced from USSR, was successfully cultivated in Hokkaido. The second year root, were assayed for the quantities of the dilute-ethanol-soluble substances and total ash. Dehydrocostuslactone content was also measured and its purity was checked. It was found that the root meets the specifications of "Saussureae Radix" in the Japanese Pharmacopeia XI as Yunnan-Muxiang (雲南木香) on the Japanese market does. Pharmacognostically, the cultivated roots were very similar to Yunnan-Muxiang, and clearly distinguished from Chuan-Muxiang (川木香, originated from Vladimiria souliei LING), Tu-Muxiang (土木香, Inula helenium L.) and Qing-Muxiang (青木香, Aristolochia debilis SIEB. et Zucc.). Both costunolide and dehydrocostuslactone were contained in the cultivated roots, almost in the same quantities as in Yunnan-Muxiang.
