中 文 摘 要 蚤休為常用中藥,始載於神農本草經且列為下品。歷代以降諸家本草如:別錄、陶注、新修、開寶、嘉祐、圖經、證類、大觀、重修政和、品彙精要、綱目、圖考等均有收錄。現代藥理實驗證明有止血,抗菌和抗癌的活性。臨床用於出血、皮膚炎、咽喉炎和癌症的治療。本研究首先考察本草學、藥用植物學、生藥學、成分藥理學等相關文獻。經實地調查採集,台灣產重樓屬(Paris genus)植物有如下列: 1. 阿里山蚤休(Paris arisanensis HAYATA) 2. 台灣蚤休(Paris formosana HAYATA) 3. 狹葉蚤休(Paris lancifolia HAYATA) 本研究依植物分類學及生藥組織學之原則,記述原植物與藥用部位之外部形態特徵;並將其內部組織特徵加以鑒別,建立生藥組織圖譜以供對照。期透過本實驗之探討能有助於本藥材植物來源之鑒定和開發利用。; Pharmacognostical Studies on Paridis Rhizoma Produced in Taiwan by Chia-Hsin Lai Institute of Chinese Pharmaceutical Sciences China Medical University Abstract Paridis Rhizoma is one of the famous Chinese crude drug, and the earliest re- cord of the origin plant “Zaoxiu” was in Shen-Nung-Pen-Ts’ao Jing(神農本草經)as the junior drug for its toxicity. In the following officinal and private phar- macopoeia – HSin- Hsiu(新修), Kai-Pao(開寶), Chia-Yu(嘉祐), Tu-Ching (圖經), Cheng-Lei(證類), Ta-Kwang(大觀), Ching-Yao(精要), Kang-Mu(綱目), Tu-Kao(圖考) were also recorded. Recent studies verified that Paridis rhizoma has the activities of haemostasis, anti-microbiotics and anti-tumor, and for treating of bleeding, dermatitis, pharyngitis and cancer. This study began with literature reviews of Chinese pharmacopoeia、phar- maceutical botany、pharmacognostical studies and pharmacological activities. After collecting and identifying these medicinal plants were divided into there species. They were as follows: 1. Paris arisanensis HAYATA 2. Paris formosana HAYATA 3. Paris lancifolia HAYATA According to the principles of the pharmaceutical botany and pharmacog- nostical histology, we demonstrated and illustrated the morphological and histo- logical characters for microscopic identification of Paridis rhizoma in Taiwan.
