Anemarrhenae Rhizoma

Description:

Perennial plant, rhizome 0.5-1.5 cm thick, covered with remaining leaf sheaths. Leaves 15-60 cm long, 1.5-11 mm wide, acuminate to apex and subfiliform, base gradually broad and sheathing, with many parallel veins, without conspicuous midvein. Scape much longer than leaves; raceme usually longer, up to 20-50 cm; bracts small, ovate or ovoid, Apex Long Acuminate; Flowers Pink, lavender to white; tepals strip, 5-10 mm long, central with 3 veins, persistent. Capsule narrowly ellipsoid, 8-13 mm long, 5-6 yield mm wide, tip with short beak. Seeds 7-10 mm long. Flowering period 6-9 months.

Growing Environment:

Very adaptable, wild in Xiangyang Hillside side. In Meadows and weeds. The soil is mostly loess and Humus soil. Cold tolerance, the north can be in the field over the winter, like warm, drought-resistant, old seedlings should be appropriate watering outside, growth period should not be too much watering, especially in high temperature period, such as excessive soil moisture, poor growth, and easy to rot Rhizomes. The soil should be loose humus soil, low-lying water and overworked soil are not suitable for planting. Born on a hillside, meadow or roadside in a drier or Sunnier place below 1450m above sea level.

Chemical composition:

Main Saponin. The rhizomes contain about 6% total SAPONIN, and six saponins were detected, which are respectively named Anemarrhena Saponin A-i, A-ii, A-III, A-iv, b-i and B-II. Among them, Anemarrhena SAPONIN A-III is a disaccharide formed by the combination of Sarsaparin and disaccharide, the SAPONINS A-i of Anemarrhena ASPHODELOIDES BGE is saasaponin-d-galactopyranoside. Saersapogenin is the main Saersapogenin in the rhizome of Anemarrhena asphodeloides BGE. The content of dry root is about 0.5% . The saponin from the root and stem of Anemarrhena asphodeloides BGE was once called Anemarrhena bge. It was supposed to be a mixture of Malcoside, Anemarrhena SAPONIN A-III, a-iv, B, etc. . Rhizome still contains a lot of reducing sugar and mucilage, tannic acid, fatty oil, and every gram contains 188 micrograms of Niacin. NIACINAMIDE, 12 micrograms. Another 0.5% mangiferin. The aerial part contains Mangiferin and ISOMANGIFERIN. The leaves contain about 0.7% mangiferin. The flower contains Saponin, and the melting point of the flower is 246 ~ 248 °C.
